Am I missing anything or do I need to simply wait.

So I have been in the garden for the past 6months. I purchased a condo in December 2015. Purchased a new Mazda in December of 2015 and then re-fi my secnod vehicle.. Got a nice rate on both. Scores are currently 680-720. No late pays for 3.5 yrs.  No collections. No liens or judgements. BK will be 4yrs old in November of this year. I have 160k TCL with 3%UTL. Currently only have a balance on MY CO and 1 BC (both 0% APR for 1yr). I have been using my BC Arrival + daily driver. Occasionaly use the DC depending on the current promo. Use the Amazon store card for purchase online. Occasionaly use the SEARS, JC Penny, Kohls and Target card. PIF all store cards. I have a Stash Rewards Visa, Discover, 4 CO, and  2 BC. I have a secured BofA and CITI visa which I use once a month and PIF. Any other ideas.? I have been told I am not yet eligible for the cards I really want BofA AK Air Visa, CITI Double Cash and CHASE SP. Seems like I am stuck using the BC for awhile longer or should I be using the CO Venture.?

Barclay Arrival+ gets ever so slightly more points than Venture on the same spend, but it's not a significant difference. 

 

Like you said in the title, all you have to do is wait and keep regularly paying what you charge. You'll get there.

What about the time before?  Any lates on your reports will have an impact.

This will also have an impact as long as it is on your reports.
