 TITLE: Which Store Cards Are Easiest to Get With Bad Credit? CONTENT: Check Your Credit Before Applying\n---------------------------------\nWhile your credit isn't the only factor that credit card issuers consider, your credit score can impact your ability to qualify for a new card as well as the interest rate and credit limit you receive. If you don't know where you currently stand, you can check your credit score for free on Experian. You can also use the free Experian Boost™† service to add your cellphone, Netflix® and utility payments to your credit report. These types of bills aren't usually included on your report, but Experian Boost opens up the potential that your history paying for these services can positively impact your score. END
