ADDITIONAL INFO

I’m looking to build credit and open a card that is a solid, steady, long-term option (as I’ve seen that closing the first credit line you open can really hurt your score down the line). I’m not looking for anything crazy where I have to put a bunch of time into tracking and high effort point redemption.
