So I am brand new to this forum and really trying to bump up my credit.
Current scores on myfico are 651, 640, 651
on Credit Karma 673,656
Now I have a couple of credit cards and a car loan I will be paying off over the next month or two
BoA Cash Rewards $900 balance ($1,000 limit)
Capital One NHR $1900 balance ($2,000 limit)
And a car loan with a balance of $9,000
Both sites are recommending the Barclaycard Rewards and that NFL Points card (I know this is based on marketing from these companies as well too)
Goal is to have $0 balances but also to increase my available credit and thus boost my score.
Now my wife has roughly 800 credit and I am going to have her make me an Auth User on her Loft Visa card that has a $10,000 balance as well.
In the future I want to get just a solid airline card (probably Delta or United) and an AMEX card just based on what I have heard towards having the available credit.
Thanks.
