What credit cards to apply for?
I know that this forum has lots of 'what credit cards do you suggest I apply for' threads, but I felt like they did not address my situation. So I wanted to ask you guys for advice!
I am 22 years old and opened up my first credit card in July with my bank (Wachovia). It's been very good -- I got what I felt was a great interest rate plus a pretty high limit ($1000). I have paid all of my statements on time. I have also had numerous bills in my own name (cell phone, cable, electricity, etc.) and always paid on time. However, I am still unsure of how my credit is (but I assume it is fairly low). I do fairly well in terms of salary and have lived in the same place for the past year, though I am about to move into a new townhouse.
I am looking to get a second credit card. I recently applied to get an American Express Blue card online, but did not have sufficient credit to get it. I travel frequently (plane, train) so a rewards program would be nice. But I know I am not in the position to be picky. So my question is what would people recommend in terms of credit cards, given my history. Thanks in advance!
