    • Use a referral link for $50 credit

    • If rejected, apply for the secured card or the Capital One Platinum.

Alliant Credit Union

American Express

Amex cards earn MR points. MR points can be redeemed for cash at 0.6 cents per point.

Bank of America

Capital One

Citi

Chase

Chase cards earn UR points.
UR points can be redeemed for statement credit at 1 UR point = 1 cent.

Caveats
  • 5/24 rule. If you've gotten 5 credit cards (from any issuer) within the past 24 months, you will get automatically rejected

Discover

Fidelity

Synchrony Bank

Synchrony Bank is one of the more lenient lenders. I have yet to get rejected for a credit card from them. They also give the highest credit limits among banks I've applied to.

Wells Fargo
