<prompt> Human: I posted yesterday evening about advice on what to look for when looking for a credit cards. Many people recommended Chase Freedom, Chase Freedom Unlimited, Discover IT, and an entry level Capitol One card. I applied for the Chase Freedom Unlimited without knowing what my credit score was, not really thinking I would get approved, and got approved with a 2,000 limit. But today I got really curious and checked my credit score and it turns out its 724. My back of the mind plan was to work my way up to a decent travel rewards card, but now knowing what my credit score is I feel like I could applied for one of those first.Being new to the credit card game, Im wondering what sort of next steps to take. I plan on being responsible with the Unlimited card, but when can I think about applying for a travel rewards card without dinging my credit for opening a new line of credit so soon? Did I really miss out on much of an opportunity with my credit score being better than I thought?Edit: I do travel by air a fair amount, not a business traveler level, but definitely more than the average person in my state. 2-4 times a year. In addition to road travel, I live between two cities and work between the same two cities. Work in the film industry so I bounce between the cities, not always living in the same city I work in. Sometimes the places were filming are way out of the way. Also take many smaller road trips yearly hard to average this out, live in a large state and go all over. A lot of people are assuming that I meant immediately apply for the CSR, and I get why, but it isnt exactly what I meant. I know they would make a good pair, but I lean towards Amex personally. But now I have the benefits of the Unlimited CSR together to think about including building a strong relationship with chase. I cook a lot of home meals, but I still eat out a lot.  <response>: You will add an inquiry to your report either way, whether its now or later. If you think you can be approved for the card you want you can do it right now. The inquiries will at least fade together and you wont take a hit to your average age as they will age together.Just know, wherever you got your score, you dont know if the CC company will use that same bureau so you score they use could be vastly different. When it comes to a top tier travel rewards card a few points, as well as your overall history and income will play a part.
