I would say apply for the Delta first as Tuscani suggested. I believe it's the easiest to qualify for. Get your foot in the door, wait a month, then try for the HHonors Platinum. Worked for me at least.
Thank you all for your response. I am going to attempt the Gold Delta first. I also saw that The Nest (a Knot spin-off) has a card for newlyweds and it seems from the reviews that I got from debt smart website thinks that it may be obtainable for those of us with average scores...
The Nest Credit Card from American Express® is designed for newlyweds with average credit who would like a reward card that provides special offers and discounts to couples that are beginning their life together.Through the reward program, cardholders earn one point for every dollar they spend on the card. Additional cards held by the cardholder's spouse and family members are eligible to earn points as well. Cardholders will receive 5,000 bonus points after their first purchase and 10,000 points every year that they spend over $15,000 on the card. There is no limit to the amount of points that can be earned, and points can be redeemed for travel, entertainment, shopping, and more.After they are approved, cardholders will receive The Nest Planning Kit to help organize and manage their home expenses and joint finances. The card also offers discounts and special offers at The Nest and its retail partners.This card provides standard benefits and services commonly found with American Express® credit cards, such as auto rental insurance, a purchase protection plan, various travel and emergency assistance services, and up to $100,000 in travel accident insurance.There is no annual fee, and the APR for purchases and balance transfers is reasonably low for a reward card.Therefore, those who plan to take advantage of the reward program, the special offers and discounts, and the various services provided will benefit most from what The Nest Credit Card from American Express® has to offer.
