No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Credit unions are also a good way to go, but again, you'll have to check about BK.
I am going to add more info to my profile for reference. Burned Synchrony too, mostly store cards. Denied for PP MC within one year after DC. May try again for a Synchrony card at some point. House at this point is at least a year out, so I'm thinking I might just go for a pop up or app for a prequal after all.
@Anonymous sounds like a good plan!
I have the Cap1 platinum and applied and got the QS.
The QS gave me $150 credit for expending $500 in 3 months.
Then I transfered a balance 0 APR for a year. And paid in 9 months.
I was doing the Avalanche at the time, and I had a few minimum payments.
Last payment was $390. So I thought I was all right with 'em.
I wasn't. They want you to spend all your budget with 'em.
Pay more than the minimum, with interests, of course.
To me, Cap1 is just a stepping stone for bigger and better things.
For some lucky ones, they had the fortune of 15-20K CLs.
I have 2.3k CL total in 3 Cap1s. Which I'm planning to close soon.
And not a chance of CLIs. They don't even tell me why.
"We will notify you by eMail." That was 2 months ago.
They are a disgrace in my CR. My next lines are 5k. Up to 10k.
I don't need 'em, and they certainly need me less.
Cheers.
Sooooo. I did it...apped for 2nd QS. Approved, 0% APR until September 2022, and a bonus of $200 if I spend $500 in first 90 days. My only whine is that the SL is 1k....please tell me this is not bucketed. My other cards with Cap1 are $750, denied CLI a couple weeks ago due to low usage and my other one-SL $5k, 0% APR for now , high utilization but will be paying that down in the next few months. Should I wait the typical 6 months before requesting a CLI for the new QS? The newly converted QS $750 limit I have been using a couple times a month and paying before the statement cuts so I will try again for CLI in 6 for this card.
