New Credit Card Recommendations

First Post goes out to anyone...what card would you recommend for me in my situation?

 

I have a Sears MasterCard with Citi (CL $3,000) and a Barclay Visa Financing Card (Apple - CL $2,000). I keep my balances fairly low and always pay in full every month.

 

Currently: Experian score of 667 and TU of 712.

 

I would really like to go for a Discover or Amex but I'll take any suggestions.

 

Any suggestions would be awesome!

 

Thanks guys.

Re: New Credit Card Recommendations

The Discover IT is a good choice to start. Eventually you should also obtain the other 5% category rotators Chase Freedom and Citi Dividend.

 

The Sallie Mae World mastercard is very good, if you can accept the limitations of the monthly spending caps. It a Barclaycard, so make sure its been at least 4 months since your last Barclaycard approval, and preferrably 6 months.

US Bank Cash+ is very good too, but it can sometimes take a bit of work to obtain.

 

Also pickup a card that gives good cash back on all purchases. Fidelity Investment Rewards Amex gives 2%, or Capital One Quicksilver Visa gives 1.5%

 

Supplimentary cards to consider would be Huntington Voice, BankAmericard Better Balance Rewards.
