Re: cards

I would think it would depend on your current situation.  If you already have a thick file with lots of revolving accounts and a very strong AAoA, already have very low utilization,  then a new card or two may not have much of an impact.  However if these are your only cards then having new revolving accounts would be a good thing and give you a nice little bump as soon as it starts reporting.  You'll also expect a small hit in score from the inquiries it took to get the new cards so keep that in mind as well.

YMMV everyone is different due to size of CR file, AAoA, INQ's etc etc 

I've seen cases when I opened new credit and lost point as well as when new accounts reported and i gained points. Its just to many variables to say will it climb or dive Smiley Sad

 

Hope this gives you a better picture and congrats on the 2 new cards both nice 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?
