Has anyone recently applied for a new credit card?

Very good questions! I hope people are getting them just to chase the physical card appearance!

Do I really need or want the card long term? Is it I am grabbing a sub or chasing the physical card appearance (not so much anymore since we generally don't share our cards with clerks or cashiers). Or, maybe I just applied to see if I could qualify?

If you do not plan to pay off the credit card every month, you also want to ask what the interest rate is?
