CARDPICK
Credit Algorithm

Your credit score is a pure mathematical weight.

A 3-digit integer (300–900) that banks use to assess risk. Higher scores grant access to better cards, higher limits, and easier approvals.

Bracket Classification

750–900Tier 1
EXCELLENT

You qualify for almost any card, including premium and metal cards. Best reward rates and highest limits.

700–749Tier 2
GOOD

Most cards are within reach. You'll get approved for mid-tier and many premium cards.

650–699Tier 3
FAIR

Entry-level and no-fee cards are available. Premium cards will be harder to get.

300–649Tier 4
POOR

Harder to get approved for credit cards. Focus on building your score first.
