I preferably need a studen credit card (to build up my credit-seeing as how I do not have any line of credit). I just need to know which credit cards/student credit cards instantly approve/deny you or at least you find out some sort of answer within a few hours.

What credit cards pretty much approve anyone?

tampabay5400 asked:


I have a low credit score (545) and would like too improve it by getting credit and paying it on time, problem is alot of creditors won’t accept be BECAUSE of my low credit, and I can’t just keep applying too everything because obviously that lowers your score. So PLEASE tell me which credit cards will give anyone a card even if the interest rate is insane!

How many Credit Cards should I have open at one time?

Zoxx asked:


Right now I have 10 Credit accounts open. Ranges from $424.00 to $5200.00 with a credit score of 728.

I have $0 balance all of my cards at this time.

I just applied to get a motorcycle and they denied me saying that I have too much revolved credit open.

I rent a apt due to the high housing prices. I have yet been able to afford a house due to those circumstances.

I have a couple questions that I hope can be answered.

1. How many Cards should I have open at one time?

2. I have heard having allot of closed accounts on your credit report looks bad. T or F (Explanation Please)

3. I have heard that you should always keep a small balance on all your cards. T or F (Explanation Please)

4. Should I try and get an outside loan from a banker or lender to get a lower APR than what they are offering at the dealership?

5. Any other useful tips to help keep my credit score on the rise without accruing allot of debt?

Thanks Allot.

What impact does closing credit cards have on your credit score?
I have a number of credits that I am not using. What impact if any would closing some of these accounts have on my credit score?

J24 asked:


I have two credit cards, luckly only totalling about $1,500. Im a college student and used them for books. They are under collection and i still have the oppertunity to pay them off, which i am planning on doing anyway. BUT they are still going to be on my credit for the 7 years right? And If i pay them off, will it improve my credit rating atall, will they show up as paid off on my credit report? Or will paying them off do anything atall since they are so overdue.

What is the best credit card to start my credit?

chaos_magician13 asked:


I recently turned 18 and im in a great living situation. i live with my dad, make about 1000 a month and im a musician. I wanted to buy a new bass and amp, but more importantly need to start my credit. I already have the money to buy the bass today, but i wanna see if i can start my credit with this purchase.The stores i went to say i need at least a 700 score to apply for their credit.
Is there any credit i can apply for, without having to pay financing and apr and so on without having credit to begin with. My plan is to buy the bass with credit, pay it off right away, and probably cancel the card right after.

achyled asked:


I’ve heard both… my teacher said having a lot of credit cards will lower my score. But I also read that part of your credit score is based on the formula

how much you owe/ total credit , so in that case having more cards would be better. I have 7 cards and I only use 2 of them. Should I cancel my other cards?
