What should be the utilization for each card every month? I would like to get Amazon Prime and join Penfed for obtaining Rewards card Should i apply for it now or wait a little ?
Your advices highly appreciated.
The Amazon Prime card through Chase is subject to 5/24. (This means Chase will only approve you if you do not have more than 5 new accounts in the past 24 months). So, keep that in mind if you decide to apply for it.
If you're looking to maximize your score, practice AZEO (All Zero Except One).
If you're looking to just keep your score up and want optimal utilization while using all your cards, keep each card uti under 49% (preferably 30%) and total UTI below 8.9%. If that's not realistic for you, shoot for beneath 30% total UTI.
Edit: Changed %s
Thanks for these valuable information.
I have 4 new account 2 for business and 2 for personal. Personal new accounts hasnt been reported yet I applied today and 3 days ago. I am a Chase customer too personal and business so 5/24 doesnt apply right ?
