Do you randomly try to apply for credit cards even if you have bad/no credit?

Or do you ever just walk into a cell phone store and randomly try to get a cell phone even if you have bad/no credit?

Just curious

LOL nobody knows that where I work. I wish I could tell them that. Some people come in every week thinking their score is gonna change.

i dont know since i have a good credit

 

[thomsbrain]

it would be a bad idea because too many credit checks lowers your score.

I am building up my credit now. got 3 credit cards in 3 months. great to be in college. I got declined many times when I was trying to apply in hs

Yes and I have been declined for the Amazon.com cc 3 times in the past 2 years.

All these inquiries have really done a number on my credit score. I haven't applied for any new credit in the past 6 months (so far).

Hell no, that's some nastiness on the credit score! Interesting thing about credit is that those who are least likely to need it also have the best credit score. Bit of a catch 22 I could get approved on anything right now (except a new porsche, for instance), but I don't want anything like that.
