Weekly Credit Series

Tip #5 Only apply for the Credit you need Every time you apply for credit, it appears on your credit report. If you apply often, creditors may be concerned that you are using too much credit. Even if you do not open the charge account, your application may raise a flag that you may be having cash flow problems. Avoid applying for credit cards just for fun , a "free" gift , or to receive a discount on a purchase.
