Juniper any good??? & How many CC is good??

[oneilldn]

Hello all,

I have two questions,

First, Does Juniper Card any good? I have read horrible things about it (like raising your apr for no reason), but I also see a lot of members here have it. Any thoughts? The thing is I need a cc who pull TU. I have already app for Hooters card and got approved, but I need another one. 

Second, How many cc is consider good? I dont want a lot of them, I just want the right amount the will help me build a better mix of revolving.

CC right now,

Orchard $400 CL (two years open, that's why I dont want to close it)

Hooters $2000 CL (just got approved)

Credit union Visa (just got approved)

Any input will be appreciated.

Thanks.

I have the BJ's Club Visa with Juniper, and I have been very happy with it.

They send a $20 store-credit check called BJ bucks with the statement when one reaches 2000 points. All purchases count as 1 point and BJ purchases count as 2 points.

They started me at 3K CL last April and last month I requested and got bumped to 5K.

YMMV.  Lots of us have $400 CLs.

The cards you currently have are enough to build credit. If you really want to add another card, I would go with Capital One over Juniper. Capital One is a lot more consistent than Juniper overall.

My experience with Barclay has been very positive.  I got the Emigrant Direct Mastercard in Nov 2007 with a 800 CL.  They increased my limit to $5K on Aug 2008.  I have had no issues with them.  They pulled TU for me in Texas.  On a sidenote, the credit card is tied to my savings account with them though.  Thus, the cashback I earn each quarter is deposited into that account.
