Credit Card Application Unsuccessful?

Just entered a new company and will be needing credit card for work. So started to apply for them. Currently received unsuccessful results from 2 banks. No reasons given and this is how they going to help? With meeting of the cap to apply and knowing that I have not taken up any loans or debts. Why does my applications keep failing?

Call them and find out, they will tell you exactly the reason .. you might be able to give them some info and they may reconsider ... have your credit reports sent to you so you can take a look at them and make sure there is nothing inaccurate on there ...kr

What kind of work do you do that requires you to get a credit card? No normal company will expect its employee to get a credit card to work for them. Just want to warn you about potential scams.

I recommend:

1) You should have received an adverse action notice from your bank. You can contact them and ask them the reason your application was declined.

2) You should also get a copy of your credit report so that you can review what is on your credit history. You can get one from whichever credit bureau the bank used (should be in their adverse action notice), or you can get one from each of the credit bureau. Federal law allows you to get a free report each year.

3) If you have never had any loans or debts, that would likely be the reason you get turned down. Banks won't extend credit to someone who does not have a credit history. They simply can't judge your creditworthiness.

4) If that is the case, what you can do is:

- Open up a retail card account at a store such as Sears, Best Buy, Home Depot or Macy's. Use it to buy something you really want/need, then promptly pay it every month (or pay it off all at once). The point is to maintain a clean credit. You will start building up credit and may qualify after 12 months.

- Request for a student credit card (if you are a student) or a secured credit card. Both of these cards will likely have a low limit ($300 to $500). With a secure credit card, you will have to put a deposit down first. This is another way to start establishing credit.

Good Luck!

Just Be!

It sound like you have no credit history, therefore you have no credit, therefore you can't get any credit. Now if you were a college student, you can qualify for credit easily - go figure.

You need to establish some credit by paying some bills. Even utility bills might help. Go to a bank that your parents used or you have a savings/checking account with and ask them for advice.

On the other end, DO NOT pay any significant work expense with your money. A legitimate company will give you an advance or a company credit card whether you have credit cards or not. With a company credit card all you need do is justify the expense. They pay it off and pay interest charges if they accrue.

With an advance, you can use a credit card, if you get one, as you know you have the money to pay it off when it is due.

When you determine how quickly the reimbursement paperwork goes thru you can plan your credit card. They aren't going to pay your interest expenses unless you can make a case that it was their fault and you have no personal charges on the account.
