Ready to App! I think

I'm finally pulling the metaphorical trigger within 24hrs, after a long rebuilding process.    What cards do yall think I have a decent shot at?    Scores are EX 671, EQ 690, and TU 656. Util is at 3%, baddies are at least 3+ years old. Income slightly over 100,000. I'd like to add 2 or 3 cards, preferably rewards/cash back category. Really anything will work...ready to step up from secured CC. AAoA 5-6yrs depending on CRA. 7 INQs in last 12mo.

Discover, Chase, cap1 qs, would be a start for cash back. Im not sure how amex is with baddies, someone could chime in on that one.

You think the scores listed are high enough? It's been YEARS since I've been in a position to even think about apping, so I have a "glass half empty" mentality at the moment

Re: Ready to App! I think

7 INQ total, but how many on EQ, EX or TU? Are any of the baddies with a certain bank?

 

Since trans is your lowest score I would likely shy away from Barclay and Capital One(they pull all three). I would also shy away from Citi personally because their backoffice team does not budge as well as others.

 

 would take a look at the pre-qual thread and see what offers Amex, Chase and BoA present to you based off of a soft pull. That won't be a promise of approval but it is a toe dip in the pool before taking a dive in. I personally would go with the great Chase freedom offer to get your foot in the door, or jump right into a Chase Sapphire Preferred. Your income should more than make up for the aged baddies.....good luck!

Chase 17k - CSP/ IHG/ Hyatt || JP Morgan Ritz-Carlton 5k || AMEX 3.3k - SPG || Barclay 5k - US Airways/NFL || BoA 16k - Alaska Airlines || Citi - Best Buy 2k. EX 732

Now happily in the garden Smiley Happy
