What Are Gas Credit Card Application Requirements
By Loren Yadeski
Nowadays, gas is at an all time high. a gallon is no joke. The gas companies are making so much money off the average American consumer. It's time that you take some steps to save some money. If you've decided that a gas credit card is one of the many ways that you can save money, then you might be wondering how to apply for one.
It's easy. All you have to do is click the apply now button next to the credit card of your choice. A good credit card will normally allow a secure and safe online application. You're on the road to saving some money with just a click of your mouse. If you're shopping around for the best deal, it's best for you if you spend some time checking out the rewards, benefits and rates the card offers. This can help you find the best credit card for you. Why get a miles rewards card if you don't plan to travel by air at all? You're better off with a card that offers cash backs and auto insurance, or hotel and dining discounts.
Gas Credit Card Application
Here are a few requirements that are needed when applying for credit cards:
1) Your credit score - Most credit cards will check your credit score when you apply for a credit card. A good credit score will get you the best APR. You don't have to have an excellent score of 800 to get that deal. If you have no credit history, this could be a way for you to build one. Your score will determine the limit you have on your card.
2) Secure income - Most credit cards need to verify if you have a secure income that can pay off the card. Don't worry about it; there are card ranges for every kind of income. You can start off with a small card and build up its limits later.

3) Your credit report - The credit card issuer can ask one of the three credit card bureaus to issue your credit report. This contains all past history when using credit. This includes mortgages and other loans, previous cards and other things affecting your credit score.
4) Other requirements - Most credit cards require you to be of legal age to apply for a credit card. There are also student credit cards available for those of you in university or college. If you're a student you may need to provide a copy of your enrollment form or student ID.
5) A valid address - Credit card companies will decline you or refuse to activate your card if you have a PO BOX listed as billing address. This is because law requires you to provide a home address. Don't worry, you can ask them to keep your home address on file and bill you through the PO BOX.
Credit card requirements may vary from company to company. You can easily apply for a gas card with your current credit card provider without having to worry about credit score checks because they already know your score. So if you're happy with Discover, why not try their gas card? This is one way that you can easily be approved for a credit card without the hassle. You also have the option of going through your local credit union or bank to help you with the application for your credit card. But why wait when you can apply online now? Don't forget to read the terms and conditions before applying! Save a copy of your application or print it for future reference.

My application for Amex Blue Credit Card was declined with 745+ credit score..any idea?
Hi. I’m a 24 year old young professional with an above 745 credit score (from experian) and annual income of $63k. I have three other bank credit cards with a credit line of $5k each card and 1 store credit card and 1 gas credit card. I know I might have too many credit cards for my age but I wanted an Amex CC to be the last one until Iater on. I’ve been paying balance for all my CCs on time in full, sometimes even overpaid.. And I have Savings and Checking Accts with amounts well exceed my CC balance.
I assume the reason why I got declined might be because I use my CCs too much, I barely use my Debit Cards and basically I use $6k off my $15k combined credit line each month..
Amex provided me with a letter why they’re declining my application. Please see below……………..
********************************************************************************
Your American Express Acquisition Risk Score is too high (See below)
Your application was processed using our American Express Proprietary Acquisition Risk Scoring System which assigns a numerical value to the various items of information we consider in evaluating an application. Your application’s total score exceeded our threshold for approval at this time. Listed below are the reasons that you did not score well compared with other applicants. (For reasons based on information in a credit report, the name of the consumer reporting agency is identified.)
Your consumer credit bureau score from Trans Union is too low (See below)
Amount of credit available on accounts (Trans Union)
Proportion of loan balances to loan amount is too high (Trans Union)
Your consumer credit bureau score mentioned above was determined using a scoring system that evaluated the information in your file at the consumer reporting agency named above. The following are the primary factors in your credit report that affected your credit bureau score:
Length of time accounts have been established.
Proportion of revolving balances to revolving credit limits is too high.
Too many inquiries last 12 months.
Time since most recent account opening is too short.

Any idea??
I thought my credit was pretty good and thought I would get approved for Amex blue without any problem.. But I don’t even want an Amex anymore. Can anyone give me suggestions on how I can improve my credit (not just the score, the whole history) and be approved for a good CC later on???
1. Don’t apply for credit for at least 1-2 years.
2. Wait until your income improves. While you say you are paying off the cards each month, you are throwing $6K a month on to them and you make less than $6K.
3. Stop charging so much.
BTW, $15K of credit available is 25% of your income. That’s high. No one else is going to give you more credit.

Exactly what is the question?
Almost any bank will have a secured credit card.
You’re guaranteed to get one because they banks won’t lose anything if you mess up. You open an account with $300+ that holds your credit limit open, and within a year or so of good behaviour you can upgrade to a regular card.

You should not go around applying for credit in too short a period of time, not matter if it is 30 or 60 or 90 days, no matter what, those credit applications affect ones credit scores.
Your best bet is to forget a card for now, you would do better to open a secured credit card with a credit union. You simply deposit funds into an account that they hold to cover your credit purchases. If you deposit $500 then your credit line would be $500. Use the card and pay it every month and pay more then the minimum. After about a year, you will have enough of a history to help you obtain credit cards.
When it comes to getting a mortgage, they (the lenders) want to see a history of how you make payments and how you handle your credit. They look at more then just your income. They also want to see the types of credit you have (revolving accounts, loans, and auto financing.
You could start to build your credit if you were to shop around for an auto (nothing too expensive, even a used one real cheap will help you build a credit history). Shopping for things such as auto loans, loans, student loans and mortgages done so within a short period of time will not affect your score, FICO recognizes you are “rate shopping”. FICO states within 15 days for older scoring methods. For FICO scores calculated from the newest versions of the scoring formula, this shopping period is any 45 day span. Each lender chooses which version of the FICO scoring formula it wants the credit reporting agency to use to calculate your FICO score.
You can go to the source area I have referenced to learn more on how to build ones credit, this is free info from FICO.
Hope this helps answer your question.
How to start getting credit? Will I qualify for a gas card?
I am 19 years old and I have no credit history at all. I have no credit cards or an credit with any stores.
I was to start building up my credit because I hear it is important to have credit for the future. I know nothing about credit, or how it works.
I have applied for credit at Target, Best Buy, and Sears and all three have declined me, I’m guessing since I have no credit history. What ways can I start building up my credit? I was thinking of applying for a Gas Card. I was at the Chevron Gas station and I saw an application for a Chevron credit card. If I apply for a gas card will I get it with no credit history? If not, how can I start bulding credit.
P.S. Is there any website or anything you guys can give me that tells me about what credit is, how it works, and how to get it? Because I’m absolutely clueless. I need like a ‘credit for dummies’ kind of information.
How long should I wait in-between denied credit card applications to apply for a new one?
I am a 22 year old with no credit history what so ever. Yes, i have checked this with the creditors. I have never had any open lines of credit and no bills in my name.
With that said, I am planning to buy a house within the next couple of years and I am trying to build credit so I will not have any problems getting a mortgage. Since August 2009, I have applied to 2 credit cards. Both were denied for the same reason(s) as follows: “current account has not been used enough”, “credit limits are too low”, “available credit on account is too low” and “insufficient amount of credit is reported on credit bureau report”.
I have been told that the only way to begin to build my credit is by applying for department store credit cards or store only credit card without the Visa/MC connection. A department store credit card will do me no good as I refuse to shop at the GAP 5 days a week. So, i have decided that my next best option is a WALMART store only credit card and/or a gas station only credit card as these two i know i will use on a weekly basis.
However, what is the average amount of time i should be waiting in between each of these credit applications? My second (last) denial letter I received on October 29th 2009. Some people have told me I can apply for store only credit right away, some have said 45 days, 60 days 90 days and even 6 months!
Please help! I need to build credittttt!!!!
