Visa Credit Card Application – 5 Tips For Getting Approved

Morgan Hamilton asked:




Getting a visa card, whether your first or your fifth, is an exciting prospect. Filling out the application can be just as nerve-wracking as getting the card is exciting. Several things can improve your chances of getting that all important visa card credit application approved including complete and truthful information, knowing what cards are out of your credit range and applying for a secured card if you can’t get an unsecured one. What follows is a look at the things you should pay attention to when filling out your visa application.

1. Know the requirements before applying for a card. Know the criteria for getting a credit card at all. First you must be eighteen. Next you must have a steady income or be a full-time student who has some dependable source of income.

2. Don’t apply for cards out of your league. Many of the online directories for credit cards will show you straight out what type of credit you need in order to qualify for that card. If you know your credit is less than perfect, don’t apply for a visa card that requires excellent credit. By concentrating your efforts on visa cards that match your current level of credit rating, you have a better chance of getting your visa credit card application approved.

3. Fill out all of the information required. Many times applicants will skip over questions they don’t know or don’t want to ask. Don’t try to hide anything by leaving a section blank since that will only result in you getting declined for credit. If a question is asked that you don’t know off-hand, hunt up the information rather than risking a rejection from the credit company.

4. Be Honest. Some people think credit card companies ask question on the application and then don’t check whether the answers are true. Nothing could be further from the truth. Know that every application is followed up with a complete credit history check and income verification process. You won’t be able to fool anyone so don’t bother trying.

5. If all else fails, apply for a secured visa card. A secured visa card is an excellent way to build up credit when your credit score is so low you can’t get an unsecured visa card credit application approved. A secured card will require a small monetary deposit to back up the credit limit on the card, but it will get your foot in the door.

How your Credit Rating Affects your Credit Card Application

Jon Francis asked:


When you apply for a credit card, one of the factors that come most into play in whether or not you are approved is your credit rating. That’s a fact that most people know well, but if you’re wondering exactly how your rating actually affects you when you apply for a credit card, read on to learn more.

1. Your credit rating may rule you out for many offers. Right from the top, your rating could rule you out of some top credit card UK offers. Every company in the UK has a number of different offerings, each designed for a different market segment. The top offers with low APR and high rewards are generally reserved for those with higher income and excellent credit histories. 2. A high credit rating will qualify you for more card offers than a low rating. The higher your rating, the more likely it is that you’ll be approved when you apply. If you have excellent credit, have lived in the same place for more than three years, have worked for the same employer for at least two years, and have a history of handling debt responsibly, take the time to scan all the offers at comparison websites to find the one that offers you the most value.

3. Your credit rating affects the APR that you are offered. The ‘typical APR’ that’s listed by most card companies is the rate that they must offer to at least 2 of every three customers that they approve for that product. When you apply for a credit card, you have one chance in three of being offered a card with a higher APR than that advertised. The lower your credit rating, the greater the chance that you’ll be approved at a higher APR than the typical rate.

4. You can affect your rating before you apply for a card in order to qualify for a lower APR. If you suspect that your rating is in the middle ranges because you’ve missed a few payments here and there, or been late once or twice, there are ways to raise your rating BEFORE you apply for a credit card. Pay down the balance on some of your cards, or reduce the number you already have for best effect.

5. It works both ways. Your credit card application can affect your credit rating. Every time you apply for a credit of any sort, it puts a tick against your rating. If the number of ticks is excessive, or if you apply for many products all at once, it can lower your credit rating and make it harder for you to get a good deal with a low APR when you really want it.

The best advice you’ll ever get is to check your credit rating BEFORE you apply so that you can apply for those credit cards for which you are most likely to be approved. Take the time to research products so that you’re sure of getting the best deal for your purposes.

Is anyone getting disgusted with all the paper being wasted via mailings?

liza asked:


Everyday I throw out a ton of paper that has come in my mailbox. Chase Bank has been sending my husband and I each a credit card application in the mail everyday for years. It makes me sick over the waste that goes into this. Are there any lobbys going on to put an end to all this waste?
