fire stone 900

barclay card for average  declined

chase freedom declined

amex plenti declined

WOW! I would think you have plenty to work with for awhile. Garden for a year and work on getting CLIs paying and paying on time. Maybe if you get a pre approval for a better card with cap1 ( I don't know which ones you got ) then upgrade. Other than that, it will take a year for the  inquiries to stop affecting your score. They will stay on your report for 2 year  though.

Starting Score: 6/30/15 EQ 554 TU 534 EX 608
Current Score: EQ 630 TU 635 EX 653
Goal Score: 680 across the board

I would make sure you use them.  That's important.  Give it at least 6 months.
