There are 3 agencies that score your credit and they are Transunion, Equifax and Experian. You need to retrieve your credit score from these credit bureaus to have a good understanding of where your credit stands. Getting a credit report before applying for a credit card? Why? Credit card companies may look at any of the credit bureaus when they receive your application. The report will show if you there are negative details recorded such as late payments, missed payments, etc.. Remove discrepancies or errors in their reporting if there are any. This will improve your credit score quite a bit. You can actually have these records removed yourself if you bring it up with the credit reporting agencies. If they are not able to verify the delinquency then it will be removed automatically. By cleaning up your credit report your credit score will improve and give you a better chance of approval when applying for the credit card you desire.
Credit Card Applications Require Accurate Information
Just like any other credit card application you will need to input your name, address, phone number, income, etc.. As part of their verification process they will have 1 or 2 questions to which only you would have the answer to. In regards to your monthly or yearly income you can look at your tax return or pay stubs. They may also need to verify other credit record information as well. Usually the total balance on the account and the name of the creditor is requested.

There are quite a number of credit cards with rewards when selecting a credit card to apply for
It can be quite fun using your credit card as some offer really great benefits: gift certificates, gasoline rewards, points, cash back, airline miles and more.
Instant approval credit card offers are also available giving you fast approvals instead of waiting days or weeks with offline approval processes. If you are short on time an instant approval credit card may be the way to go.
You will have a better probability of getting a credit card if you apply to 2 offers (one after the other and not at once).
Select the best credit card offer out of your top choices and submit an application. If you find that you are not able to be approved for any credit cards then you may need to wait sometime before applying again. During that time continue to make payments on time to increase your credit score. Take a breather from applying for a new credit card. A good amount of time would be about 8-12 months. Take advantage of that time to build your credit. Do not have any late payments during that time as it will reduce your credit rating.

Accuracy is always key to submitting any application as it will need to be verified by the credit card company
Check one last time for any errors in the details of your credit card application and then submit. Denials of applications can happen with the smallest error.

student credit card application response?
im a college student, i dont have any credit history, i just applied a citi mtvu credit card which is designed for collge student, but when i submit the application, it says application received, and ask me to wait for 7 days for the decision, this is my first time applying credit card, is it normal?
I wouldn’t sweat it yet. But do check the terms on the credit card for all those hidden surprises. I just got some offer for a card with a $70 application fee and a $70 annual fee with 20% interest rate. It’s a $30 fine if I’m late on a payment.
Please be careful getting into debt right now. College students are prime target for bait and switch interest rates. They get you in at 5% then bump you up over 27% if you are a day late on a payment. I fell down the rabbit hole and now I will never let myself get more credit I can afford.
The reason it takes so long is because they are marketing to college kids so they have some room full of temps(prob college kids) typing in the info from 100,000 applications. Once they type it in, you will be approved in about 30 seconds.
What does this mean on my student credit card application?
CASH ADVANCE TRANSACTION FEE: 3% for each cash advance, with a minimum of $5 and no maximum; effective January 1, 2010, 5% for each cash advance, with a minimum of $10 and no maximum.
For a credit card.
Oooohh. I don’t think i’d ever be doing that. I just want to have it so I can establish credit. All my money goes into my checking and I will pay off the credit card.
Cash advances and transfers are treated differently than purchases charged to the credit card. If you transfer some other debt onto the credit card, you will be charged an additional fee. Likewise, if you take a cash advance there’s a fee.
Usually the interest rates are higher for cash advances and sometimes for transfers. Interest accrues immediately. There is no interest free grace period. A cash advance from a credit card should only be done in extreme dire emergencies.
If you have never borrowed money or had an unpaid bill sent to a collection agency then call Discover customer service and tell them that this is your first application and they must have gotten the credit report of someone with similar name.

Here is the game:
You are the young and vulnerable.
They are hunting you.
You’ll get a free t-shirt for signing up, sure.
You are signing your future time away.
Go to college without one. College is not a financially producing time. Again, credit is not for college. Find your place in the world first, before you imprison yourself in their web.
WHy is it taking 30 days to get a response from an online credit card application?
I applied online yesteray for my first credit card and they said I would get a response within 30 days. Why does it take so long? Is it because I have no credit and it was a student credit card? Also, I said I had both savings and a checking account but right now I only have a savings but will be getting a checking account on Saturday. Is it ok that I said I had both a checkings and a saving? Will it make them reject my application? Are they eager to give a credit card to someone like me, a young person likely to give them money for interest? I am just anxious about the whole thing. I am going to be responsible with it because I am careful with all my money.
also I didn’t know what they meant by residence when they asked rent or own? do they seriously expect me to pay for rent at this age? So I selected “Other” and put zero paid month;y for my residence because that is what I pay, I mean I help my mom out sometimes but thats it.
lol iceman, I said I made 6K a year because that is what I made in 2005
well it was labled a student credit card….being wary should be expected of them if they think this.
yeah it was CHASE
what is the purpose of advertising student credit cards then?? they are designed for people like me who have no creidt. thanks for not answering my question.
the only thing more dangerous than someone with bad credit is someone with no credit. they are wary of you since you have no established credit, your a student blah blah blah. it takes them awhile to verify your status, residence, job (if you have one), and your account status. if you had established credit then it wouldn;t necessarily take this long to approve or deny your application. if you do get this one and are financilly responsible; when you apply for other cards in the future, the response time will be a lot quicker. basically, once they can pin you down, see you can make payments, you’ll get it.
What does it mean when my credit card application was declined due to “Collection”?
It would be my first credit card application. I asked some friends from work (where I have worked for two years- Best Buy) and they said to apply for a Discover Student Credit Card. I was declined for what they call, “COLLECTION” Does anyone know what this means?
