What Now

I'm about to hit one year with my Discover card and I'm looking too add two or three more cards if possible.

 

Credit File:

Discover 750 Limit - One Year History

Student Loans - Good standing

 

Inq

TU - 4 (2 are student loan apps)

EQ - 0

EX - 1

 

Scores are all around 710-720 FAKO on discovers website.

 

Interested in:

Chase Freedom

Citi Forward Student

Amazon

 

Recommendations/Odds? Also is it better to apply with 0% Utilization or 1-9%?

Re: What Now

A small balance (1-9%) is ideal to show usage but not dependency.

IMO you would be okay for all of them; albeit, Chase Freedom may have a small initial limit. Depends on your reported income.

Also, try to app for them at the same time so the inquiries and accounts age together.

Chase Freedom Likes to see one year TL which you have with Discovery however only 1 CC they may want to see more TL's 65/35% chance

Citi Forward Student Very good chance of approval 

Amazon Good chance of approval 

 

Recommendations/Odds? Also is it better to apply with 0% Utilization or 1-9%? 0-9% 


 

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: What Now

Outside of discover and citi the others don't seem to offer much incentive for student cards. Thanks for reccomendations
