For the next WaMu offer ou get, I would jump on it. They have been very good to me and my scores weren't as high as ours when I started with them They do respond to customers who pay on time and keep utilization low by making all types of special offers over the life of your account.

Try this site www.whogavemecredit.com and you can see the approval rate for any number of cards. Amex, Citi and Chase may give you a card but keep in mind they have a subprime percentile too. My friend just got the freedom and is paying over 20% APR.A lot of people like the prestige cards but if I can get a better deal such as rewards or APR somewher else I choose not to. I like to keep my money in my pocket. My AU got a chase offre, 21% YIKES!!! Actually worse than the subprime Household Bank card
