Honestly I would recommend gardening for the next 6 months. Gives you a chance to improve your credit scores and allows your TL's to age a little more. Setting yourself up to app for better cards.

 I would wait one year from now, and let the inquiries fall off your credit report. Let the accounts age first, and this will get your score up.

I would wait for your FICO to hit at least 700. You could apply for one or two of the following at the same time:

Chase Freedom

Citi Dividend

BoA Cash Rewards

Amex BCP

Cap QS

 

Good luck! Smiley Happy

I'd recommend using other criteria.  We can guarantee what you will or will not get approval for.  We can provide our best guess but you should really look at what products offer the benefits/rewards/etc that you need/want.

American Express and Chase but maybe not this instant but those would be next choices at the time.

How old are all your accounts?

I guess Chase, Amex, Barclays would be the next biggest prime lenders you haven't made a relationship with. I'd take a stab at Amex before the year is up for D*

Re: Next credit card??

I'd value Chase above Citi due to the value of their points/rewards structure. If you were to wait 6 months to apply for a Chase, I think you'd have a good shot at getting in. I'd save the Citi app for after Chase.
