    Well, I'm about to apply for a credit card with my grandmother...

    I have "something" bad on my credit? :) and nothing positive... But I "technically" make 50,000/year (altho I make more... dunno if they can track that via my bank account?) - She makes 20,000/year but has PERFECT credit (she's old too.. hehe)

    I just want a low rate card, a high limit if I can.. but I dont want to apply and get rejected.. lol, What is the best offer really? And should I go join or just request an additional card in my name?

    One more question...

    When I fill out this application.. It says household income...

    I dont live with my grandma

    If I put her as main applicant with her address...

    Then me as co-applicant with another address

    I add her and my money that we make? or the two households (do i count my parnets even tho they wont be on it) <-- wow, that ads up to a lot

    If you DON'T live with grandma...you CAN'T put her income as TOTAL HOUSEHOLD INCOME...but if you get a "paper" application, MADE FOR JOINT ACCOUNTS, it would have her income then your income...(on seperate lines).

    Congratulations.

    Hey that Harley Davidson card is TOO COOL looking! Did you get your Grandma THAT card? hehehe I want one!

    Spend wisely, you are going to be affecting your grandma's credit as much as she is going to be affecting your's. MazelTov.

    I make a lot... :) Nah but really... I do about 3,000/mo in CHECK card transactions...


    Instead of doing it 100% on my check card I want to do it on the credit card.. but put the money on the side.. that way i can earn credit on all this stuff.. Just like I should have been doing for a while.
