Just did some work on the Credit Cards for Beginners thread here.

Please let me know what y'all think and if changes need to be made.
Very nicely organized!

Only things I noticed -

This might be what you referred to as Joint User, but I got my first CC from my local bank and my mother co-signed it. If that's Joint User than fine, I would just maybe explain that a bit more as it was super easy to do.

Also, my GAP card is a regular CC not just a store card. Is it really just as easy to get approved for as a Macy's store card for example? Or is there perhaps also a store card version and that's what you're referring to.

What do you guys think about the individual cc threads. Right now, most wikis, if they exist, just have an application link. Should the wikis be more informative about churning periods, ways to get AF fee waived, needing to create new FF #s etc or is that overkill?

I will try and expand on that a little more. It is a tough line to as what to put in the wiki and what should be researched.

Also, my GAP card is a regular CC not just a store card. Is it really just as easy to get approved for as a Macy's store card for example? Or is there perhaps also a store card version and that's what you're referring to. It is a credit card branded for the store, the same way United has a card with Chase that earns United miles.

Maybe links to good articles about eBay? I don't see how you can make a wiki about eBay - it's too big of a sugya.

@MP
You think describing Joint User is a bit too churning-like to be discussed in the open?

I understand that about the GAP card. I was curious if it's as easy for a newbie to be approved for it as it is to be approved for a Macy's store card.

Can we impeach wiki editors? ::)

@Moose, the threads you've listed as "should be wikified" - are those the only destinations without one?
