So you know I have the BofA secured that I got last week, yesterday went ahead and got the OpenSky....should I go ahead and get a First Progress (NOT FIRST PREMIER) secured to make it 3 active revolving accounts or should I just leave it 2?

Re: More Tradelines??? - ONLY 1 RIGHT NOW!

I just seen that myjourney suggested the SDFCU Secured Card. Should I go with that or First Progress or do I not really even need a 3rd secured?

Every time you get a TL added it takes away from your AAoA.  If you don't mind that,  a 3rd one isn't going to hurt you.  But after that, I would suggest gardening and letting these age for at least a year.

Re: More Tradelines??? - ONLY 1 RIGHT NOW!

guiness,

 

which is more important right now? AAoA or being sure I have enough revolving credit to show that I can multiple things on time monthly? My oldest accounts are 2 student loan accounts from 7 years ago....thoughts?

Both are equally important but if you can get them together and age them together it will help at this point
