@FireMedic1 Indeed and thanks for the advice. I am definitely trying to stay away from secured cards. Do you think I should just go for the Credit one amex now or wait until the 13 month mark for a third card like that road to 700 plan in 24 months or less states ?
Its not a vulture card from them. You have to get to 3 for the FICO mix. I never say yes. Well you said...... nope. It does lead to a much better chance than PP for an approval. Its up to you. But waiting that long for a card is time wasted for a rebuild. Yes slow and steady. We all had to start from the bottom and work up. Took me over 6 yrs as my siggy says. That blob below is all from here reading and learning. To finish. Were not getting any younger. Ya know? 
@FireMedic1 Yeah I went for it got approved for the credit one amex 2k limit No AF. Now I have three cards and can keep doing what I'm doing and go for the PayPal next in 4-5 months.
Boom! Congrats. The foundation is set. Now it begins and off you go. Every 6 months check pre-qual's. Once I got where your at now is this. Once I hit 700. Next card. Points lost. Back to 700+. Next card. Eventually you'll get higher 700 scores and then when the new card comes in and the new account hits. It will be above 700 as a base. Good luck on road to recovery. You got this.
@sihmud Nice!! congrats on your approval. What were your scores when you applied? Yeah I'm still interested I might apply later this year I have three cards now so waiting some time.
@FireMedic1 Quick update, my regular QS card I got a random CLI to 5k from 2.5k few weeks ago and they are sending me a new card in the mail since they upgraded me to a world elite master card from what they told me on the phone. I guess with cap one using your card a ton and paying it off right away helps. I use it everyday.
