June Approval Spree! 4 for 4! Any others recommended?

After years of working on my credit rebuilding, I am happy to say I was able to go 4-4 in my June approval spree!

 

Amex Blue Cash; $1,000 SL

Discover IT $1,000 SL

Citi Costco $3,500 SL

Barclay NFL Etra Points $3,500 SL

 

I am looking forward to closing my Blaze and First Savings sub primes in the very near future! It's a great feeling coming back from the dead! LoL.

 

Thanks to all on this board that gave the tips to get back on track, it is a very good resource! 

 

Are there any other cards that anyone reccomends to close out my June spree?  630-650 scores right now. 

Starting Scores: 1/1/2016
EX 600 EQ 598 TU 610
Current Fico Scores (9/2016):EX: 674 EQ: 678 TU: 689

Good job on the approvals. Let these age and grow and build history before adding more cards. You have a solid base, no need to add more just for the sake of it

Congrats on the approvals! I also have a Blue Cash and I love it. I do think that you should let those four cards grow and age a bit before you add any others. Grow those cards, Amex and Discover can be amazing with CLI's.

Gardening until September 2025

Big congrats OP and really nice line up of cards!  I completely understand your excitement, as I'm rebuilding, myself! I agree with the other posters, as far as sitting tight for a bit and letting your accounts age, if there is nothing else you really feel you need at this point in the way of a card for a specific purpose (like, for example, if you were in need of a medical procedure, I might suggest Care Credit for the zero percent interest).  You've got some great cards that have the capacity to grow quite a bit!! You should be proud of your progress, so keep it up!

I agree that's best. Congrats on your new cards!  Don't forget to request an increase on the AmEx at 61 days. Search the forums here for info.

No more cards, you were borderline in with AMEX and Discover.  Let the cards grow.  You should get some of them up to 5k+ and your scores up then you can start applying for prime cards with Visa+ and better rewards.
