I want to apply for more then 1 Credit Card. Should I do Both at the same time or apply for 1 then wait awhile and apply for the other one. How would this look on my credit Report. Thanks Jim
JHMO, I think applying for two cards at the same time will not harm you chances of getting the second card. However, more than that may signal to other potential creditors that something is wrong in your financial life, that you are desperate for credit and they should proceed with caution.
If you apply for two Barclay's ("Juniper") accounts on the same date, they'll code it as one inquiry. They usually pull Trans Union. I don't necessarily like their products but, for inquiry purposes it works well.
Apply for them both at the 'same' time then each one wont have a record on your credit file that you have applied for the other. (as it takes time for an application to be marked on your credit file).
