Credit Card Application

jesterx626 asked:


I was looking at airline miles credit cards, and this one has no annual fee. It says the card and the rewards program is fee-free. From their main website: “0.00% Introductory APR (0.0000% DPR) for Purchases for your first 6 months of Cardmembership. Then, a variable APR of 13.24% (0.0363% DPR);15.24% (0.0418% DPR); or 18.24% (0.0500% DPR), depending on our review of your application and credit history.”

Unlimited Travel Choices, Zero Travel Restrictions, Any airline, No blackout dates, Any hotel, No seat restrictions, Any cruise, No Saturday overnight stay requirements, Any car rental, No advance purchase requirements, Any travel package.

How good does this card sound as a airline miles credit card? Any reviews on this card? Basically I just like the idea of spending money on the expenses I usually buy while earning points towards a airplane ticket.
Reply: Hm, how much credit would I need to get that card? So far I went through 3 billing cycles with capital one and paid them all in full each time, and I plan to pay it all off in full for every cycle and any credit card.

Who here has either been denied a credit card application for a lower rate for which they thought they were approved or has had their credit limit cut in the last month or so.

I’ve heard AMEX is a great card so I thought of applying for one, then I thought better of it…credit crunch and all that. No point in bringing my score down and my debt up for something I don’t need.

and why? What are the basic terms or your card…name and city, state of orgin, % interest, annual fees, application fee. I am most interested in one to rebuild credit.

Hey guys… thought I’d ask this here, I got a credit card about two years ago and just about four months ago I hit a financial road block and have been unable to make much payments. They sent me to collections recently and they have (collection agency), understandably, been calling a lot, however I explained my situation many times but they do not stop calling.

Just recently they have been calling my girlfriend’s house and I am not sure HOW they got her number. Her number is not listed which is even weirder. They call once every two weeks or so though. I did not put it on my card application because I was not with her at the time.

Do you know how this collection agency coulda got her number? And how I could get them to stop calling there?

I’m closing on a house tomorrow. Will my credit card application that went through today (rejected, btw) affect anything tomorrow? Or is it safe to assume all of the loan stuff is pretty much done, we just have to sign the papers? I have no credit history.
We’re signing the papers tonight, but since it’s after business hours they said it won’t go through until tomorrow. Does this make any difference?

I was applying for cards and to be honest I don’t even remember filling out the application for this account. But I received a Chase business account card and approved for $10,000 on it. I activated it and have been using it since. My question is, does it matter that I do not have a business and only using it as a personal account? Am I going to be assumed to report a business during tax season? I got this card but I can’t even get a capitol one card. Someone please help me out here. Thanks!

In jan of 2007, when I was 17 years old, I had lied on my age on a credit application to American Express for a credit card. A few days later It came in the mail with a $2000 Limit. I had regretfully used it.

In Feburary, American Express had sent me another CC and I did not use that one nor applied. Also in Feb applied for Chase credit card and also lied on the app about my age. I Recieved it in the mail with a 2K limit. Desprate for rent, I had applied for 3 more credit cards all supplied from chase and had recieved them all with another 3K limit, 5K limit and 2800 limit. And also regretfully used it all.
In the same month I applied for Target (never used but got), Sears (used 250) Imagine(used 300) Credit one(used 300), home depot (used 500) another Imagine(Used 300). I regretfully used them all.
I am scared… Im not sure what to do. Now there in collections. In july I turned 18, and they call looking for the money.
Am I responsible for the debt? What can I do?

If a credit card company issues a credit card to a 14 year old minor because they can lie on the application, can they harrass the parents about paying the debt? Will it carry over after they are 21 to pay or will the statute of limitations apply to this as well- 7 years and off their credit?”
It was a friends Daughter- she wanted to go shopping- gave her real SS# but her age she entered a false birth date to appear older. I dont know why the credit card company gave her a card, was a 300 dollar limit.

I’m having a problem with getting a credit card in my name. Since I’ve graduated from high school I’ve had a credit card but its in mine and my dad’s name. We both assumed that it would build up my credit but it turned out to not. I pay a bills in full and on time but I do not have any credit score obtained. No credit card companies will accept my application because I have no credit. They don’t care that I have a full time job and a checking and savings account. Please I really can use some sound advice because I really hope to someday buy a home and it will be impossible without any credit obtained.
I’ve tried to get a store credit card and failed and I’ve also tried to get a card from my bank. The lady said she would see what she can do since she knows me well but I haven’t gotten any luck yet.

Around 7 months ago I got into quite a financial mess. In the end I ended up missing my credit card minimum payments about 3 times or so. Since 4 or so months ago I caught myself up, paid what I owed from the missed payments all at once, and havn’t paid any payments late since then. Actually pay them earlier than the due date.

I also had a incorrect report on my credit profile. Best Buy’s credit card company had kept reporting me as not paying my balance for 60, 90, 120 days, when in fact I paid that credit card in FULL almost a year ago. Finally they reported me as a collection charge-off, and that’s when I called them and they got that removed, and changed it to account settled in full.

I’m thinking of applying for a small student credit card, from CIBC. Since I am a full-time student, and having a small credit card can come in handy sometimes. (I don’t have the credit cards I mentioned above anymore, I just pay them down, they’re not in use).

What are my chances of getting approved for the $500 Student Card? I don’t want to apply & then get declined again.

Thing is, I got laid-off from my summer job, and now i’m unemployed until I start school next month, when I start my part-time job at the hospital there. So right now I have nothing to put in the employment information section of my credit application.
