What's my next card? 1 month post DC, 684 FICO

Thanks for looking at this thread!

 

I have a Capital One Platinum card - 3k limit

 

What's next? Should I go for credit one?

Stay away from all the Vulture cards !! Credit One, First Premier, etc - you don't need them and you'll just pay fees for nothing. Wait 6 months and develop a history with Cap-1 then apply for a Quicksilver or add a secure card such as BoA.

Thanks for the advice!

 

Should I apply for a secured card from BoA right now or wait?

Working for you is your fairly good Fico score (assuming itsa Fico score and not a Credit Karma or other score), working against you is a 1 month old bankrupcy. You can try for the BoA secure card now and it'll convert at some point to a regular BoA bank card, but frankly given you have $3k in available credit, I don't see why there is a rush to add it "now" - assuming you get approved.. Perhaps those that have used secure cards from BoA and other quality lenders can advise you better than I can on the short and long term process.

I was thinking my main goal right now is to increase the number of accounts, credit limit and payment history

You are very welcomed. Didn't want to see you waste a hp. BOA secured is an awesome card. But, stricter than most.

Looks like you know your stuff since you have such a high credit line. What do you think my next step should be? In 6 months I will apply for a Capital One quicksilver, but any ideas about what I can do in the meantime?
