How often can you apply for a credit card? January 29, 2010

ll asked:


How often can you apply for a credit card if a rejection letter states that you have had “Too many recent requests for credit or reviews of your credit”?

I recently got auto financing, plus a secured credit card just for the purpose of establishing credit so that I can get a regular credit card. Should I wait a month before applying again? Will it hurt me if I re-apply too soon?

As often as you want. I normally apply 5 or 6 times a day. But than again my therapist says I have self esteem issues and find comfort in rejection.

You should wait six months or so before applying again. In the meantime, make all your current loan & card payments on time.
