Okay, so I made some mistakes when I turned 18, you know, like getting 5 different credit cards and maxing them out. I've actually paid all my balances down (including paying off 3 of those credit cards) and am almost all done (I will be "debt free" next March). However, I also understand how the Fico score works. I realize Fico is about the be replaced by the new system, but from the sounds of it, same basis for scoring.
Anyway, so now I'm looking to get a new credit card to keep my score up. I'm debating between Capitol One & American Express. My reasons for those two are because of recommendations from people who have been where I am and from the sounds of it, they're both good credit card companies (I know, kind of an oxymoron, but you get the idea). Strong insights and thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
