No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
So, I apol if I'm bombarding ya'll's forums... but recently went on an app spree. Fairly new at credit with AAoA of about 2 years, and 8 accounts on my CRs, the majority of which are installment loans (car/school). In my efforts to get a better refinancing rate next year, and eventually get a car in a couple of years... decided to get some credit cards in addition to my NFCU CR card which was my first.
So, thanks to Lexie for encouraging me to stay in garden. Ended up apping for ONE more CC, and I promised myself that's it! So, now I have the 8 prior accounts, plus my NFCU, w/ the addition of an Amazon Chase Visa with 2000 CL and today apped for the Discover It and was instantly approved for 1400 (I believe)... while it wasn't the IT 18 month terms, I still get 6 months no interest, which is a good deal. Also called and reconned Target store card, as the address on my app wasn't the same as on the CR, so they said, I'm likely to get approved, but we'll see. It won't be pretty when they all pop up on the report, though.
My goal is to garden until next year, so that everything can age gracefully and around the same age. Maybe ask for NFCU CLI later this year after the six month mark...
Many thanks to everyone here and the help on the forums, it's been an enormous help, as I begin to navigate the world of credit and for the future (I really haven't much help, prior to this)!! REALLY, TRULY, in the garden now, until at least later this year.
Congrats
