No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
If I break through the cracks and apply for a card. What are the chances I'd get approved? Like such as the Chase Freedom card I've been wanting, or trying Discover IT again even though they denied me in the Summer due to "limited credit history". I just want to reward myself.
How many cards aged since the last discover app?
My newest accounts are 4 months old.
How many cards were active on the last app, and are still open? This is what they'll notice. The increased age of lines opened before your last denial will work in your favor.
My 2 cents....follow your statement in your signature and stop thinking of credit cards for the moment ...

Guessing you're the angel on one side, and I'll be the devil on the other.

Too many "recently opened," so I'd guess if approved at all, it'd be patheticly low limit.

Chances are slim at best. It almost sounds like you want reassurance on this. And, as another poster mentioned, if approved...key word being *if* it will likely result in a very low CL.
