Pretty much ever credit card gives it to you nowadays, so check your account online.
Applying for a lot of credit in a short amount of time raises a red flag, but it wouldn't hurt to open one more card and/or request a limit increase on your existing one.
CreditKarma is also free. Nice app too.
Keep your original credit card open too, regardless of whether you switch to a new card for your regular use. It's been open for a while and that boosts the avg age of your accounts
Wow
What.....
If you have BOA they send you free monthly fico scores
You can also find it online and pay a small fee, get your FICO score, that's the most accurate one
Capital one also has free credit score

Nothing is more attractive to a lender than a person with an income, assets, low/no debt. If you pay for everything via cash / debit why do you need a ton of credit? You have some credit. I wouldn't be too concerned. If you want a safety net, I'd talk to your current card issuer about upping your limit (do NOT get rid of it, helps to have long-term credit relationship) or maybe one other card with good travel perks. I have 2 cards that I only use for online shopping (fraud protection) and for travel perks. Also check out Dave Ramsey on debt free living.
Just ran it based on the information you provided. Looks like you're sitting at 610
I ran it through Wells Fargo, so it's very trust-worthy

Thank you A2!
Does it help boost your credit score to get multiple credit cards as long as you always pay them off? I only have the one I've had since I was 16
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate not having to sift through a thousand google articles haha
