Hey guys,
I did some apps in the past few days and figured I'd share which cards I got approved for, as to help those with lower credit scores get their foot in the door or simply open up new lines. My FICO TU was just pulled for Walmart and was 640 at the time of approval. Both other scores are close to that, but less than 640. My scores suck right now because of utilization, which is why I'm trying to do CLI or open new lines to help lower it, as well as pay it down.
Walmart Store Card SL $1100 - called and increased 6k
Shell Drive for Five Gas Card SL $500
Newegg SL $500
Midas SL $500
I also went ahead and called to increase my Amazon. I bumped it up to $2500 ($1200 increase).
Hopefully this will help my utilization drop a bit, as well as help those of you looking to open new lines that may be seeing frequent denials. If your scores are so low that you are skeptical about any of these, I would recommend trying for Midas first. In addition to Midas, you can also try for Firestone. Practically a guaranteed approval for both.
