Two Approvals - Discover & Uber Visa - Next steps

I'm very happy I just got approved for the Discover IT and Uber VISA card.

 

Discover pulled EXP - 655

Uber Visa pulled TU - 653

 

3 Accounts ever late

Utilization 1%

Total spending limit - $800 (Secured Capital One Plat)

1 Capital One Auto-loan

3 Inq Exp / 2 TU

AAoA = 5y, 11m

Oldest - 12y, 4m

Time since negative - 8 months

 

What's next? 

 

My Equifax score is low due to some items not falliing off via disputes and age so I won't pull anyone who uses EQ. It would be beneficial for me to refinance my Capital One Auto loan as I obtained it when I was in the high 500s and the interest rate is terrible. I owe less than the NADA value as I paid down on the prinicpal. I want to apply RBFCU and utilize that TU pull to apply for both a credit card and re-fi my autoloan at the same time.

 

At what credit rating do you recommend I should apply the RBFCU account? Would 675-680 be enough? I live in Texas and if income verification is important, I earn 6 figures. Unless I can pre-qual for a good CC, I won't open any others for now. I would like to get in the Chase Rewards family eventually too. CSP would be nice down the line.

 

Thanks.

Congratulations!! They are two fine cards you can 

use to save money with. Don't know what the 

threshold is for RBFCU but I'm sure you will find out through 

these forums. Enjoy

Congratulations! The Uber is a great card and the categories for the Discover are very helpful! What were your limits given on each card? Or am I blind, which is possible haha..
