Key Takeaways
What Can You Get Approved For With a 750 Credit Score?

With a 750 credit score, you can likely get approved for rewards cards, low-rate personal loans, prime-rate auto loans, and most mortgages, as long as your income and debts support what you're borrowing. A 750 is very good credit, and you're 10 points from 760, where Fannie Mae's next mortgage fee band starts.

Is 750 a good credit score?

Yes. FICO's very good range runs from 740 to 799, and 750 is in the lower half of it. Exceptional credit starts at 800.

What separates 750 from the higher bands is usually one of these factors:

  • Card balances. Using a large share of your available credit holds your score down, even if you pay in full each month. Your issuer reports the balance on your statement.
  • Recent applications. Each hard inquiry can take a few points off for about a year. Several close together can keep you below the next band.
  • History length. A score backed by a few years of accounts has less to go on than one backed by a decade. Length of credit history only grows with time.

What can you get approved for with a 750 credit score?

At 750, your score usually isn't what stands between you and approval. Lenders will look harder at your income, your job history, and your debt-to-income ratio (DTI).

Credit cards

Rewards cards with cash back, points, welcome offers, or long 0% intro APR periods are realistic at 750. Many premium travel cards are within reach too, though some issuers look for higher scores.

Since you'll likely qualify for several, compare them on what you'll actually use: travel perks, cash back on everyday spending, bonus categories, or how long the intro period lasts. An intro 0% period helps only if you pay the balance off before it ends.

Get prequalified where you can. Prequalification uses a soft credit check that doesn't harm your credit. A full application triggers a hard inquiry.

A very good score doesn't make card interest cheap. The average card account charging interest runs 22.15%, according to the Federal Reserve.

Personal loans

Most personal lenders will approve a 750 if your income and DTI support the loan. Expect offers in the lower part of a lender's advertised range, though not always its lowest rate.

The Federal Reserve's average for a 24-month bank personal loan is 11.86%, and a 750 borrower can often get offers below it. Federal credit unions can't charge more than 18% on most loans, so include them when you compare options.

Auto loans

At 750, you're comfortably in Experian's prime tier (661 to 780). Your credit score plays a major role in the interest rate you're offered on a car loan. On a $20,000, 60-month new car loan at average rates, a prime borrower would pay about $1,000 more in interest than a super prime borrower. Super prime starts at 781, 31 points above your score. Experian sorts these tiers by VantageScore 4.0, so your FICO score may place you a little differently.

Manufacturer promotions like 0% financing may be in reach, so ask the dealer what score a specific promotion requires. Before you visit a dealer, get preapproved by a bank or credit union. That gives you a rate to compare against the dealer's offer and any promotion.

Use an auto loan calculator to check payment amounts before you sign.

Mortgages

At 750, most mortgage types are open to you, and you're 10 points from Fannie Mae's next fee band:

  • Conventional loans. Fannie Mae charges lenders an upfront fee on the loans it buys, based on your score and down payment. With 20% down, the fee is 0.875% of the loan amount at 740 to 759, 0.625% at 760 to 779, and 0.375% at 780+. On a $200,000 loan, that's $1,750 at your score, $1,250 at 760, and $750 at 780. Reaching 760 would save about $500. You'd pay the difference through a higher rate or more cash at closing.
  • FHA loans. These loans are an option, but they carry their own mortgage insurance premium. Borrowers with scores of 580 or higher can qualify with 3.5% down. Each lender can set higher minimums. At 750, compare an FHA quote with a conventional one, especially if your down payment is small.
  • Jumbo loans. Each lender sets its own score, income, and reserve requirements for loans above conventional limits. A 750 often meets them, but ask each lender.

Small rate differences add up on a mortgage. For example, on a $300,000, 30-year loan, 6.0% instead of 6.5% saves about $98 a month, or about $35,000 over the life of the loan.

What interest rates can you expect with a 750 credit score?

Expect strong offers, often near the better end of what a lender advertises. Exact rates depend on the lender, the loan, and market conditions. The Federal Reserve's averages across all borrowers were 22.15% for card accounts charging interest and 11.86% for 24-month bank personal loans. At 750, your offers will likely land at or below both.

The nearest cutoff is 760, just 10 points away, where Fannie Mae's mortgage fee drops a band. After that come 780 for the top fee band and 781 for Experian's super prime auto tier. Reaching 800 changes what you're called more than your price.

5 ways to protect or raise a 750 credit score

  1. Check your reports before a big application. You can get all three for free every week at AnnualCreditReport.com. If anything is wrong, like an account that isn't yours, dispute it with the bureau reporting it.
  2. Keep reported balances low. Your issuer usually reports your statement balance. Paying it down before the statement closes keeps your utilization low, even if you already pay in full.
  3. Never miss a payment. Payment history makes up 35% of a FICO Score, and a late payment stays on your report for seven years.
  4. Limit new applications. Each hard inquiry can take a few points off for about a year. When you're shopping for an auto loan, mortgage, or student loan, keep it within a tight window. FICO counts those inquiries as one if they fall within 14 to 45 days, depending on the FICO version. Credit card and personal loan applications each count separately.
  5. Think twice before closing a card. Closing one removes its credit limit, which can raise your utilization if you carry balances on other cards.

If your report is thin on accounts, adding one helps. A Kikoff Credit Account reports your payments to all three bureaus.

Bottom line

A 750 score gets you approved for most cards, loans, and mortgages at strong rates. Your next step is 10 points away: At 760, Fannie Mae's mortgage fee drops a band. The top mortgage and auto tiers start at 780 and 781, so from here, low reported balances and few new inquiries do the most for your price.
