Best store/gas card to get at FIRST?

[800isthegoal]

Hi all,

 

I have been trying to search these forums for weeks in hopes to finding a good solid post or sticky showing where to apply when you have poor credit and are wanting to get cards to help rebuild credit with new credit lines!

 

I know there is a credit card database and so forth but i remember a reputable post showing where to go to first!?

 

Is Chevron and Kohls the best place to apply for starters with low scores?

 

My Experian score is currently 578 and I have already got a secured CapitolONE card with a $500 limit.

 

Thanks so much!

GECRB Chevron/Texaco is a good starter card. Not sure about scores required, but check credit pulls for a general idea.

Walmart card will give you a free TU FICO score every month.

i ended up applying for Amazon Store Card.  I did NOT get an instant approval so we will see!  Thanks for the suggestions and for those who have no posted with advice on here please still free to do so!

regarding gas cards, I got a Shell card when BP wouldn't give me one. FWIW

Walmart is the easiest GEMB card to get in my opinion.

 

If you received a "3 - 4 day message" on Amazon call them, it may mean they want to verify your ID thru L/N before approval.

I just called and was informed that i was denied but could re-apply in 30 days? Guess I will see how they based their decision and work on that before I re-apply!
