You also don't find much discussion on skunks, urinals, and diarrhea.

Your reply should be sketched forever in history as the best comment on DDF.

But still, even w/o using the card, there is something to be said for $8000 CL.

I am trying to buildup my credit score. My score now is between 650 and 690 (was 525). Trying to get a credit card with signup bonus miles. Which card do I have the best chance to be approved. I have now Discover=$3000 Macys=$500 WM=$600 Kohls=600 Secured=$2000. Any good advice will be greatly appreciated.  This question was probably asked before but I am a newcomer so please bear with me. Thanks

If you have a chase account, go into your branch and apply with an account representative.
I think a chase freedom is a basic card to be able to get.

I am looking more for C/C with some signup miles. I don't think the Freedom has it.

For a beginner (without any history) and still wants to get some miles on the way building his credit, the best option is the LanPass secure card.
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

It depends on alot more than just your credit score.

Other factors taken into consideration are utilization ratio,  credit histor,  AAoA,  etc.

What is AA0A ? History Last 7 years = about a dozen late payments.  No late payments past 30 month = . Utilization ratio = 10%. No collections. 1 Judgement

They can after a rejection but until that point there's no difference.
