Wow USAA is the way to go!

Let me start off by stating that I am very young in the credit arena.  I only have 1 year of Credit experience.  I started off with a Capital One Credit card with a CL of $500 after several others declined me.  It has no AF but a hefty 20.55% APR.  A year later, the card has been increased to $1500 without me ever asking (Though it still has that high APR Smiley Sad
 
I have since received a Pre-Approved letter from USAA a few months ago for a Platinum Rewards Mastercard.  Upon applying for it with my promotion code on USAA's website, I was instantly approved for $9,000 CL at a 12.15% APR!  I've had the card for about 2 months now and it's wonderful.  Not to mention USAA is a Class A company that I've had my car insurance with since I was 16.
 
I just recently checked my 3 Fico scores since getting my new card and they are:
 
TU: 725
EQ: 708
EX: 741
 
I NEVER thought I'd be able to attain these scores starting up credit just a year ago!  In fact the ONLY negative comment by MyFico is that I have a short credit history. Smiley Very Happy

Do you have to be in the military to get USAA products?

I know you have to be in the military or a military dependent to have thier automobile insurance, but I thought thier credit cards were open to everyone.  I don't know......I could be wrong.

Hopefully someone will tell me that you have to be in the military to apply for their cards....it will stop me from trying to apply! I have seen they are very generous with their limits,

Well I guess there are some benefits to being in the military. Smiley Tongue
 
USAA is an excellent one.  I can't recall any other company that is so highly regarded by just about all it's costumers and professional publications.
