    any other ways to rebuild credit besides a credit card?

    OK, my chapter 7 was discharged last august. 2 months later i applied and was approved for a 500.00 limit on an orchard master card. Been very good with it, I just got an increase to 700.00.

    Is there any other things i can be doing to help improve my score??

    I get pre approval offers in the mail all the time for other credit cards, should I maybe get another one?

    I also just sent as request to all 3 credit bureaus to see what my credit score is.

    I would maybe apply for 1 more card but no more than that. I was discharged a few days after you were and received a Cap 1 card a month after discharge. Funny thing is I had a Cap 1 card pre-BK that I did not owe anything on and they closed my account, however it still reports as open on my credit reports which helps.

    Recently my CU started offering a free EQ FICO score monthly which has helped in tracking my score.
