Your credit is being pulled too often. Stop applying for about 3 months, then apply for a card that you think your would qualify for. go to www.creditcards.com and look around, it will tell you what kind of credit you need to qualify for the card. look for "Fair Credit OK" the bad credit card offers are for people with charge offs etc, so stay away from offers like orchard bank, first premier, Tribute, Aspire, etc. You can get a credit card for a regular bank, just wait it out and don't apply becuase its hurting your score, and making lenders think that you could potentially have accounts opening soon, and that you will over extend yourself with too much debt. After about 3 months it won't have as much weight on your score, but keep in mind that inquiries stay on your report for a whole 2 years. So, don't apply for a new card every three months. I would suggest applying at Chase or Capital One, they gave me my frist cards 2 years ago and I didn't have any credit either...now 2 years later my credit limits went from an average of 500 to over 8,000 dollars. Just keep up the payments and don't exceed 30% of your available credit. Say you got a card for 500 dollars, never ever ever owe it more than 150. Keep that in mind and you will have excellent credit in the next year or so. Goodluck, and stay away from those nasty offers.
