Which credit cards should I apply for?

Trans Union = 636 Equifax = 678 Experian = 637 I have a student loan and an Auto loan. I have had 2 collections back in 2004 and they are paid off. I am trying to avoid a bunch of inquires. My reports say that I don't have any revolving credit so I am trying to add one card and make payments on time to improve my score. Also I live in Maryland if this helps. Thanks

You will have no problem with the AMEX Gold Delta Skymiles, then when you activate it change it to Blue.

Congrats on the new card Kooliad.  I knew you would not have any problem getting it.  As far as the conversion goes, you can ask to convert upon activation and they will say yes or no.  Just ask the CSR when you call.

I just applied for the Gold Delta Skymiles and got approved w/a $1k limit, 1 collection due to fall off next year. Also did for boyfriend and he got a cl of $2k, and he has $7k in open collections and a $15k (unpaid) tax lien.
