Thanks...to everyone.. Pls help.

Your credit is fine now.  It will be better when the lower balances report.  Apply now or wait.  Both should be fine.

 

As for which card - CSP is a travel card.  Or get both.  They serve different purposes.

I agree with djrez4.  You could wait if you like esp for Amex but if you apply for both I would apply for CSP then Amex.
