I recently applied for a credit card to help raise my credit score faster.. i really have no plans on using the card but i wanted to have it just incase i needed it. i was under the assumption that applying for a credit card wont affect my credit unless i am denied for the card itself which i was accepted and the card is in the mail. Now im torn for on what i should do. My credit has already been pulled and wondering should i go ahead and activate the card when it gets here or just cut it up?

I’m soon to be 18 and am looking to get a credit card to help build credit. My dad said the best thing to do is to just use it to buy gas, but I’m not really all that up to date on how credit cards work and which ones are the best. Does anyone have any wise credit card wisdom to pass on to me?

I currently have two Mastercards– one from my bank, and one from Capital One. My credit has been steadily improving. Would it help to have other cards, ie. Discover, American Express, etc??

I am returning to school in the fall but am short a good amount of money. I need a loan to pay for the rest of the first year, but I have really bad credit due to poor judgment from a couple of years ago. Does anyone know of any places, programs, or banks that gives student loans to people with bad credit? Any help would be great!

sergio d asked:


I constantly listen to adds and recommendations that knowing your credit report score will help you get a better loan or deal, with less interests. Isn’t it enough to know that you have bad, ok or excellent credit? Do you actually go to the bank or the car dealer and say something like: “Hey, my credit score is 740, give me a good deal!”

I’m from another country and I’m trying to build my credit history, so any help is welcomed. Thanks!.
