 TITLE: What Credit Card Can I Get With a 600 Credit Score? CONTENT: How to Improve Your Credit Score Before Applying for Credit Cards\n-----------------------------------------------------------------\nEven if your credit score is good enough to get a credit card for fair credit, you may want to take some time to improve your credit before you apply. Depending on the current state of your credit, this process can take time, but it could make it possible for you to get approved for a better credit card.\nThe best place to start with improving credit is to check your credit report and credit score. These will give you a better idea of what's impacting your credit score and how you can address it.\nTo improve your credit before applying for a card:\n*   Pay your bills on time, every time.\n*   Get caught up on past-due payments, and pay off collection accounts.\n*   Pay down high credit card balances.\n*   Avoid closing old credit card accounts.\n*   Dispute inaccuracies with the credit bureaus.\n*   Avoid applying for new credit unless absolutely necessary.\n*   Use Experian Boost™† to get credit for on-time utility and phone payments.\nYou can also ask a family member who has a good credit history to add you as an authorized user on one of their credit card accounts. This arrangement results in the entire history of the account being added to your credit reports, which can help improve your credit score. END
