MY LAST WANT BEFORE

I hit the garden for 2 yrs.. is a WAL MART card :*( i've tried for 2 yrs and denied 5 times.

 

Discharged BK June 2012, first line of credit opened May 2012 before discharged OKAYED by trustee..

 

Orchard 0/1000

Cap one cash rewards 0/500

Fingerhut 0/400

Navyfcu cash rewards 0/1000

Navyfcu secured nRewards 0/500

Express 0/250

Kays 0/400

I have been rotating all my cards, I accidently let them all report 0.. I usually keep a small balance on one.. I will let my Navyfcu cash rewards report 10 dollars on the 12th when statements cuts.

Re: MY LAST WANT BEFORE

How many INQ's on TU ?

Your close score wise

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: MY LAST WANT BEFORE

Only reason is I shop there alot, and because of the free TU score...

 

I just don't want to app and app and app.. I have a bunch from 2012 for a autoloan... I have 26 but only 5 this yr...

 

I think I may just forget about wally mart and move on... Stay in the garden... I bet by the end of the yr I can make it to 650

Re: MY LAST WANT BEFORE

I want Walmart too. My next app will be in store instead of online, apparently it makes a difference.

Re: MY LAST WANT BEFORE

With the recent BK, I think it is less likely you'll be approved. The inquiries pose a possible concern as well. BUT, if you are heading to the garden for 2 years, it is worth a shot because when you exit the garden, the inquiry from Walmart will be gone. So I agree that you should give it a try. If applying in store has a higher approval chance, I would do that. Good luck. Let us know how it goes! Smiley Happy
