No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
My hubby and I are planning on purchasing a home (my first, his third - he has two investment properties). We plan to purchase this home together, he has a score of over 800 and mine is just above 700. He has no debt while I have minimal. There is currently a deal on a mileage credit card that would be beneficial for our summer vacation plans, I want to apply. Will I be OK since we don't plan on buying for more than 6 months, possibly longer?
Thanks slappymancuso
From the little you mentioned you really should have no worries when applying.
Applying for credit while it can impact Lender decisions, and UW discretion, it really has very little impact on customers with higher credit scores, no bad tradelines, and a good DTI.
You could probably apply now, close within 10-20 days (if all is as you stated), if that was something you considered, if you feel applying for new account may impact you.
But waiting to buy is also okay, it is what will make you happy that matters.
You should have no issues either way.
3 INQ's 6 months old? 1 year old?
Still wont be an issue when applying for home.
I cant speak for something else you may apply for such as CC's and such.
