Should I app for a new card or continue to garden?

I was thinking of applying for a new credit card to build my history but some people say don't apply for credit if you don't necessarily need it. I was considering the American Express Blue Cash Everyday card but I don't want to get denied and have an unecessary hard pull. I work part time and I hear having a high salary is also important when applying for that card. Currently, my Equifax score is 768, Transunion 766, and I don't know my Experian (it's usually the highest out of the three). My AAoA is some where between 1 and 2 years (not exactly sure how to calculate it). I have no baddies on my profile but I do have balances on two out of three of my credit cards. I was interested in a card with low ongoing interest rate but if I app for the AMEX I would want the BCE. Any advice or suggestions? If any other info is needed, let me know. Thanks!

Thanks!inquiries on each? current cards and limits? your scores look good to me, amex likes clean thin files...Also, if you do apply, and can afford spending 333 a month for 3 months, please use the same inquiry for a Amex Prg... 50k bonus points... you may want to consider going for the amex ED instead of BCE, as it only earns 3 percent in cash back. Even if you only take one vacation a year, the ED has a return avg of 4.8 percent at grocery stores (2.4 points per dollar at groceries x mr point value avg of 2 cents per point). You may have a ED targeted bonus of up to 25k points.... so yeah... not to mention 200 bucks in free airline gift cards on PRG. cancel after 51 weeks. (charge card must be paid in full every month)

  • Should I App for Venture or wait

    7 cards is a lot in a short period of time, but I can't talk because I have done worse. Check Capital One's pre-qualifier site and see if the Venture comes up for you.

  • HT202794 Why can't I download the free Apple apps for my new iPhone 5S? It was set up in store and restored from my iPod Touch 5.

    Why can't I download the free Apple apps for my new iPhone 5S? It was set up in store and restored from my iPod Touch 5.

    Are you logged in with the same account that was used to activate the phone ? If you are, and the apps aren't showing as free, then try logging out of your account by tapping on it at the botto of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then log back in and see if they then show as free.

    Yes thats what i thought but i only have 77 days left on my garentee so its a worry, and have to drive 1 hour to get to closest Apple shop, spent the whole day there today when i should have been at work and have to make the drive again on Monday Then back again next Friday to pick it up. I paid over £1000 ponds for this computer so wouldnt expect it to have its insides replaced befor a year. Feel very let down, and no longer love my macbook pro.

  • App for local news cast will load then black out returning me to home page of ipad.  Worked fine until 2 days ago.  Any ideals?

    I have been using app for local news.  It has worked fine until 2 days ago.  Now,when I choose the app it looks as if it is loading then it blacks out and takes me back to the ipad screen where I chose the selection.  I have uninstalled and reistalled app same problem.  Any ideals?  This app works on my iphone and by daughters ipod.
    Thanks

    I also have the same problem with my downloaded apps not opening any more, simply closing immediately after I try to open them.
    It seems this only happens to downloaded apps, not the built-in ones.
    I have been advised to remove all my apps and reload, but I fear loosing my data.
    I tried the 2 diff kinds of shutdown/reboots, but did not help.

  • Looking for an app for a credit card reader

    Looking for an app to use a credit card reader such as the square register for the Z10. Or any ohter credit card reader.
    I've been a faithful Blackberry user for over 6 years, I hope that I don't regret buying this new phone last June. Verizon tried to talk me out of buying a Blackberry. So far I have been dis-appointed in this phone. 

    Hey guys get ducks in order, I'm a small business owner, I need smooth native apps or built in's that help make money for me, your voice recognition is terrible at best for my Z10, especially when my job relies heavily on making hands free calls to clients, my old 9900 worked well when you had to say numerous commands to adapt to your voice or am I not seeing that this phone does this as well, if so why do I have find it!? As well, I like others are faithful early adapters to BlackBerry, but now, getting impatient as a other devices and OS's are becoming more appealing.
    The new Square Card reader is a very good example that you should be working with them aggressively, this simplifying product is excellent for small businesses who provide mobile services, it will explode into adaptation for this sector, do not suggest an android app for use, otherwise I'll make it simpler and just get the android device instead, this solution benefits blackberry how? And if I am the rare one with this sentiment I apologize, but if I representative of a population that matters take it seriously...what do you do with this information? Remember when you start to get a bitter taste, you tend to never again, does blackberry care, show me, do not tell me!
    PS/ if you get where the future is going most business are going to move to 2 devices for employees and owner operators that have partial integration, and the only thing that keeps you BlackBerry afloat is the "sense" of security is use, the second device will be for social and leisure...think about it.

  • Time for a new card...help me choose!!! MSI, ECS, EVGA????

    I'm planning to get a new card TODAY! I'm down to a couple of cards and must make a decision and place an order before midnight    (rebates expire April 30th on some of these). Since this is an MSI forum feedback on this card would be great...
    MSI NX8800GTS 512M OC GeForce 8800GTS (G92) 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16814127325 Price with mail in rebate and shipping $202.58. Comes with copy of Witcher game!
    Anyone running this card please tell me what you like about it and what you don't like about it.
    I'm leaning at the moment to this MSI for two reasons...free game and comes overclocked slightly from the factory so I don't have to worry about messing with overclocking myself.   
    Additional info:Here is my computer specs:
    Asus P5VD2-MX SE Motherboard with Intel Core Duo 6300 (2 PCI, 1 PCI x16, 1 PCIx1 all currently empty)
    2 Gig Ram
    WDC WD3200JS 320 gig HD
    DVD
    CD
    Floppy
    Onboard sound/video VIA chipset
    Buying new PSU to power this card -> OCZ StealthXStream OCZ600SXS ATX12V / EPS12V 600W Power $69 after rebate!!! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341010
    Thanks for the responses in advance!!! As I posted above time is of the essence as I will have to order TODAY to get the rebate!   

    We only going to recommend MSI cards here.  This is an MSI support forum, not a general hardware site. I would go for the Corsair VX550: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139004
    The Corsair VX450 would probably do as well, but I'd go for the 550 version

  • Is there and app for receiving credit card payments?

    so i could type in the CC # and doesn't need the actual card?

    BAR files are apps you can install (side load) to your BB10 device. BAR files are converted (usually by others) from those native to Android and iOS.
    DDPB is a PC app that can be used to perform the side-loading process of the BAR file app to your BB10 device.
    So, if someone somewhere (you must search the Internet) has created already a BAR file for this Cielo app you want (which you say already exists for Android and iOS), then you can download that BAR file to your PC, install DDPB to your PC, and then use DDPB to install the app (using the BAR file) to your BB10 device.
    The process is called side loading. If a developer has not written their app for BB10, then you can still side load it if the above conditions are met (someone has created a BAR file already for the app).
    Good luck!

  • Cielo app for accepting credit card payments.

    Hi there, I don't even know if this is the right place, but if someone could help....
    I'm form Brazil and a BB user for years, was looking for upgrading my 9900 to a Z10/Q10 phone.
    My company will start accepting credit card payments using smartphones, but the bank says they only have apps for iOS and Android....Is there anyway an Android app could work on the Z10? 
    Thanks

  • App for pre-approved card or wait?

    I have a C1 platinum 800 limit since april and a C1 Quicksilver - the one with the annual fee - $500 limit that I just got in the beginning of July.  I know I should have at least 3 revolving credit lines.  I would like to get the third one established sooner rather than later and then start to garden and age off the multiple inquiries I have while working on some other areas of my rebuild. I want as much time as possible to recover from the hit I assume my score will take when I apply and to age the account before we start searching for mortgages hopefully next spring/summer. I check for pre-approvals all the time because I'm a bit obsessed and I finally got one for the Discover it card.  No other credit cards give me pre-approvals yet.  Scores are 618, 638, 644. I honestly don't know if I want a discover card.  I don't know what I want.  The amount of information is all overwhelming and goes right over my head.  I need some kind of comparison chart designed for a 5 year old to understand.  (does that exist anywhere?) I'm trying to go about this rebuild the RIGHT way.  But I am driving myself crazy trying to figure out which is the RIGHT card.   Should I get it because I can (probably) or should I hold off until something better comes along - and how will I know what's better?  

    Update, from this thread: http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Discover-online-preapproval/td-p/3023272 "Does it say anywhere on the page.... "Congratulations, you are pre-approved for the following cards/products?"  If not, it is probably the standard offer page when there isn't a pre-approval." I just tried the link again and it gave me the "Here's The Card We Found For You" with a merlot colored Discover IT. 
    I tried it again with the name Snoop Dogg and SSN 1234 and it gave me "Here's The Card We Found For You" with the silvery blue Discover IT card....

  • Should i wait for the new i pad or buy the current one

    should i get the new ipad 2 or should i wait for the ipad 3?

    No iPad 3 has been announced yet. If the current iPad does what you need, and you can afford it, then you might as well get one now and start getting use out of it - unless you want to wait an unknown number of months for a un-spec'd/unnounced product
