Curious about that Amex

So here is my credit profile:

 

1 Kay card, opened 8y6m ago. Closed 6y ago for inactivity. Good standing 

1 CapOne Sec (600$) opened 6m ago. 2%util. Good standing (auto CLI soon, I hope)

AAoA 4y 5m

 

I got approved for the Green card, comes in this week. Other than having another TL on an otherwise anorexic file, how would this card help me? Also, would it serve to reopen the Kay card? Would I be better off trying for another revolver? Who put  the "Bomp" in the "Bomp bah bomp bah bomp?" Each of these questions weigh heavily on my mind.

Thanks for the assist.

Re: Curious about that Amex

I definitely would not go for another department store / jewelry store card as your history proved that you don't really use it or need it and with your AMEX, you're beyond that store level.  Let the AMEX brew for about 6 months and give yourself time to think about it and see what NEW offers come along.  Papa um mow mow... papa um mow mow.
