Shopping for credit cards

Anonymous · ‎03-16-2011

I started with 2 Credit accounts one mail order credit that actually reports 900 limit and a cap one @ 500 limit had both for about 2 years with no late pays and no high limits so I fig out it was time to get an add. Card so I applied @ 5 cards com. got app. For 4 of them and I only thought I was going to get one if I was lucky I got a orchard bank @ 400 credit one @ 700 a Macy's for 700 and a WF for a 1000 WOW!!!!! 4 out of 5 not to bad for a score @ ex 642 Fako eq 623 Fico and tu 634 Fico and that is with 3 c/o that are between 3 and 5 years old the card I didn't get was a Chase card. Remember everyone there is a forth credit Bureau and it is INNOVIS they don't develop scores but they are the ones that provide all the prescreened offers make sure get one of there reports!!!!

I would not keep the creditone... it has monthly fees and will grow VERY slowly.

I would probably ditch the orchard too if it had an annual fee.

you got WF, that is prime... you don't need these sub prime.

also call chase backdoor and try for reconsideration... you already took the inq.

Why will you want to add AF cards like orchard / credit one? You have got a couple of good cards now.
