@@noeeortiz9073 Synchrony has a pretty well documented history of closing down accounts suddenly, even when they are in good standing. It happened to me and many, many others. There have been occasions where people would go to use there cards, and would find out then and there, the accounts were closed. They also have a history of slashing credit limits, even when being used.

Read terms. From what I have experienced w synchrony is if you do not pay off balance by end of 0% term they will add all the back interest all at once. This wouldn’t want to deal w that surprise after been making payments for a year.

I started with Wells Fargo, but I financed my first car through Capital One Auto Finance. I love Capital One.

Synchrony drops your credit limit for no reason. 🤦‍♂️

You're not getting an AMEX gold card with a 620 credit score. Ain't happening.

Yeah the Amex thing is slightly surprising. I've only just now got a fico score and the top third of my card recommendations are all Amex, but not all have a yearly fee. There's like one secured card, a couple no annual fee cards, a lot of annual fee cards. And then a bunch of pre-approvals from credit one ☠️

I wonder if the CC companies approve low credit score applicants as a control group to see if credit scores really predict defaults?

yea, this guy gives a lot of info that isnt correct, most youtubers in this sector are like that, he may have a few correct idea of how things work, but a lot of the important points he tries to make or says are not correct or half true or are misleading, he prob doesnt even know or realize that so i dont think he says incorrect things as if they where factual, a lot of these youtubers just read or watch others info or videos and basically just say the same shit thats wrong or is bad advice, but thats like 98 percent of youtubers in this sector, its almost as bad as the crypto experts on youtube

If u have a low credit score u can also get the capital one platinum credit card no annual fee u dont need a secure credit card

Awesome videos people, please keep up the awesome work people, you're welcome people!

How hard would you say it is to get approved for Capital One Venture X?

apply for credit cards will temporarily lower your credit score because you are seen as high risk, because you're opening multiple lines of credit in a short time. Just use those for a couple months and keep the payments at 10-30 percent of the limit.

I applied for a credit card and I have excellent credit, but I still got denied. What does that mean?

Yes, yes they do. Capital One, Bank of America, Chase and Synchrony. If your ITIN is valid, they will give you a shot given you have any kind of credit history. (Check the company Self for a good way to build some). Also, loan companies such as Oportun will also lend you up to 10000. On the business side, banks such as Accion opportunity fund will also lend you up to 25.000.
