Applying for a New Credit Card

Hi,

I am looking into applying for a new CC as the 0% on my old one is about to finish.

I read Martin's guide, but could not see anything about this: Is it better to check your credit reports prior to applying for a new card?

Last time I had a credit report would have been about a year ago when applying for my current card.

Thanks.

    Have you applied for credit since you last checked your report? Kept up with payments etc? If nothing has changed i would just apply and wait and see what happens.
    I came into this world with nothing and I'm gonna leave with nothing.

    I've applied for two cards. Both of which I got accepted for. Always kept up with payments.
