I would really doubt it.

Look at prequaled for Citi, Discover, Amex, Cap One, Merrick.

Citi may be a little out of reach at the moment. You might try the prequal tools for Discover and Amex, as ShootingFor800 said. Good luck!

I just want to make sure I'm understanding you correctly. He has an 8 year old Capital One card with only a $750 limit? Has he ever tried for a credit line increase on this card? Have him check the Capital One pre-qual page since he has such a long history with them.

The charge off is going to push Citi away for the time being. Does he have any other late payments or derogatory accounts on his profile? If not, work on getting the charge off to go away and his profile would actually clean up quite nicely with 2 accounts over 8 years old. (And he could get rid of that costly Surge card!) How much is the BoA charge off for?

If he has the resources available, he could attempt a "Pay for Deletion" with BoA. See these threads for more info on this matter...

Best of luck, and feel free to visit the credit rebuilding forums for further info on dealing with the charge off.
