What changes once you get an 800 or above credit score?

My friend says that his life goal is getting an 800 so I was just wondering :lupe:

Is getting an 800 credit score similar to the "renting a car at 25" milestone? :lupe:

After about 760, you'll pretty much qualify for the lowest rates. However, your credit score is only part of the equation when getting loan approvals. The debt-to-income is a crucial part of credit decisions. Some banks will allow for less income if the scores are higher. In addition, the higher your score, the bigger the cushion. You can have a 763 and drop down to the next tier by getting one too many inquiries or allowing too high of a balance to report. If you're sitting at 808, you'd have to have a few things go wrong to get knocked down to 750.

High credit isn't what its cracked up to be, if you're black..

They look at so much shyt besides the score, like debt to income ratio and credit balances to available credit ratio..

If they want to screw you over, even with your prestigious credit score, they'll find a way..
