I opened a Discover Secured card in December of 2019, and was graduated 6 months later, I got my first year cashback match a couple weeks ago. I'm looking for a new card to use for more general spending for purchases that don't fall into the 5% categories. I would really like to close my secured Capital One card as I never use it except for the very rare occasion a place doesn't except Discover, but I'm not sure how much of a difference it will make with it being my oldest card by 7 months. I also don't want to many hard inquiries, I have none in the past 12 months.

​

• Current cards:
  • Capital One Secured, 500 limit, opened 5/19
  • Discover IT, 750 limit, opened 12/19
  • On both, I've never once carried a balance and I always pay in full every month. I started using the IT for all my purchases once I was graduated from secured.
• FICO Score: Experian 575-85, can't login to Discover atm due to maintenance but I believe it was somewhere around 600-620 last time I checked the scorecard, not sure if it matters but Vantage is 695-697
• Oldest account age:
  • 1 year 8 months
• Income:
  • $40k for 2020 due to pandemic furlough
• Average monthly spend and categories: This is hard to average now every month has been different because of pandemic
  • dining $500-1000
  • groceries: $100-200
  • gas: $30-60
  • travel: $0
  • other: $500-1000 (online shopping, etc)
• What's the purpose of your next card?
  • Maximize cashback opportunity and continue to work on building/rebuilding my credit
• Do you have any cards you've been looking at?
  • Amazon card, Paypal Mastercard Credit, Fidelity card
• Are you OK with category spending or do you want a general spending card? either
