Honestly, in your position I wouldn't seek more cards. I'd build history with what you currently have and attempt to address any negatives on your credit reports.

How long have you had your current cards?  Have you tried for a CLI with capita one?

Thank you for the wealth of knowledge I have learned from these forums. I am logging off as of November 9, 2022. I wish everyone great success.

I've had all of my cards for a year and some a couple months shy of a year. My AAoA is 1 year and 3 months

I'd say your best bet at this point is to grow what you have. The qs1 gives you a very reasonable cb albeit the annual fee. When are you due for your credit steps on your cap one cards?

Amex Blue Cash - 22.9k | CSR - 21.9k | Cap One Quicksilver MC - 18.5k | BofA Travel Rewards - 15k | Lowes - 15k | Citi DC - 13.2k | Discover IT Miles - 20.1k | Amazon Prime Visa - 6k | BofA BBR - 5.4k

As far as I can tell I dont see that I am in credit steps. Should I maybe talk to their customer service?

Credit Steps is the program they may put you in when you apped for the Cap-1 cards. Its the program that may have said you qualify for a 700 CL and you will get that in 5 ot 6 months of on time payments. CSRs can confirm if you are in credit steps. Also let these members know your file will be clean when you app for the new credit.
