No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
welcome to the forums,,, think u still need another rebuilder card,,, its been to long for me now to give advice but other will chime in
I bet if you wait till April when you have a year and those inquiries no longer hit you, you can get a nice card at that time and you won''t have to settle for Cap One.
Just wait till then and apply for a decent card you may be surprised at what you can get.
Since you virtually have no inq I would risk it and apply for an American Express Charge Card and a Citi Forward Card.
Some other options depending what you have in your area is Walmart card (get free TU Fico each month if you sign up for paperless statements)
Target
Macy's
Expres
Really anything with GE or WFFNB

i would wait and get some history on your accounts.
Once you have 6 months with the first card I REALLY think a person needs to add 2 more, and hopefully the 2 more you add are with prime banks that can grow with you.
Many in the last year have had great success with Amex Charge and Citi Forward with just 6 months history.
I have seen some denials but as I stated before with only 2 INQ I would risk another 2 to apply for the cards above I mentioned... At that point if both of those are declined I would be looking into a store card or a credit union to start building relationship with them.
Get the apps out of the way while you are young in credit.

thanks for the advice guys. When I applied for the chase freedom in Nov. I was rejected due to age of accounts and not enough revolving accounts. Do you think I'll run into similar problems with store cards or subprime cards? Sorry to ask so many questions but my plan is to get a mortgage in 2014 and I wanted make the proper steps.
No for store cards, they are very good about letting you in with little history. Especially GE
