Your scores are good but Discover in particular wants to see a a positive CC history. Amex the same but maybe to a lesser extent. Do you have an established relationship with a bank or credit union in your area? If yes, I would start with them. Otherwise, you might look for a secured CC...BoA has a good one which will allow you to graduate to an unsecured CC with several months of on-time payments.

try for the discover card. if you have a thick credit history eventhough u dont have another cc, you will get approved.

i have had discover and amex and no longer have amex. long story short, after having an excellent history with amex i went to use my card and it was declined. i called to find out it was being rewevied for cancellelation because of a change in my credit score.

needless to say, i cancelled the acct immediately and kept my discover card! i have also heard stories of amex suspending customer's accts and requesting tax returns. you do not want that heach ache.

discover has better customer service and more about a pleasurable experience.
