Started rebuilding about a year ago. Started with Orchard and Capital One...then got a few gas/store cards. GEMB approved me for Old Navy ($200) and then Walmart in November ($600). Then today I got brave and applied for an Amazon Store Card, as I shop on there weekly. I was approved with a $1300 limit! 
Starting Score: EQ: 590 TU: 599
Nice sounds like your building your mix up. I just started on the orchard, cap one route myself. Hope the good luck continues for you.

If you're trying to build up a bit and lower util, try pottery barn charge. I was getting similar limits as you from GEMB, and pottery barn gave me 4k.
WOW! Thanks for the tip I might try that, it would tempt me to shop there more which might not be good! Lol
