What are the benefits of having a good credit score?

Caesarion pyta:
What are the benefits of having a good credit score?

I’m a college student who got a credit card a little less than a year ago. I spend a lot (around $700 a month) and always pay back the total in full before the due date. My bank has increased my credit line three times since because of my good credit.

So are there any additional advantages to having a good credit score than easily getting approved for credit cards and getting large credit lines? Does it also project to any type of loans (i.e. it is easier to get approved for a car loan with a lower interest rate) or something?

How can I get my credit back on track so I can buy a house?

Ok here is my story…I filed chapter 7 bankrupsey last year. My husband left me with a 3mo old special needs baby and between paying for his doctor bills and putting myself through college I was in $15,000 debt and I filed ch 7. Now I am out of college and want to get my credit back on track so I can buy a house in the next few years. I though if I got a credit card from a dept store to show that I can pay them back and establish credit that would work, but I get turned down every time I apply. My bank will not even let me have a debt card. I have a stable job now and I’m looking to settel down and get my life back on track. What steps do I need to take to get my credit back on track? Can anyone give me any advice?

How can I get a credit card with rewards when I have bad credit?

Hi. My wife and I both have terrible credit, and are looking for a credit card with rewards such as cash back or sky miles. We use our visa cards that are tied into our checking accounts so much that it is a waste to not get rewards, but it is hard to get rewards with bad credit. Any advise?

What credit card would you recommend for a college student?

Azzz doggg pyta:
What credit card would you recommend for a college student?

This will be my first credit card.

I am not planning on carrying any balance. I just want to build my credit history. I am making enough money to cover any purchases and plan to pay in full each month, so I don’t really care about the interest rate.
