Hey there and welcome to the forums.
Your real FICO scores will vary from sites like Creditkarma, who will show you Vantage/FAKO scores.
The only way to see your real FICO scores is to request them.
Creditchecktotal gives you a 7 day trial for $1 which I would recommend.
Just remember to cancel before the 7 days are up.
I would definitely hold off on app'ing with Chase or Amazon until you've shown some more history.
Discover and Amex are usually pretty friendly with thin files, so I would recommend trying those two.
Try to keep your util as low as you can, because it doesn't look too great if you immediately charge it up to 100%.
After you've gotten 2/3 cards set up, just garden for a year or so while showing responsible use.
Good luck!
Thank you for your responses! I appreciate the info about the credit score, I will look into that. The student loan I believe is what makes my credit age I think 5 or 6 years... would Chase not consider this credit history? Do they only consider credit card history when offering approvals?
I don't want to max out the card, but there is only a 1k limit and the sole purpose of opening it at this time is to pay wedding expenses and pay it off in december-february. I don't have any other way to pay for this stuff unfortunately, and I figure the credit card was a better idea than taking out a loan. (So essentially, I make enough money to afford to pay it off, but this wedding is sort of last minute so I didn't have enough TIME to save. I have no plans to be irresponsible with the card in the future.)
It sounds like I may have a better chance at some of the other cards you mentioned... I haven't found much on here yet regarding opinions on doing "app sprees" (I doubt 2 credit cards is considered a spree) so you think it would be fine to open up one more now just to get the overall utilization down? thanks!

App spree usually is 3+ cards in a very short amount of time(like one week/month or even one day in crazy cases). Don't do that. Seems bad on your profile for someone who's gonna look over it manually. But that's just my opinion if you want to go crazy you can do that and it will fade off after a year or two.
However in your case knowing your scores is nice but ultimately checking whether you are prequalified for the card is the best thing to do. Getting a second card is normal and good for your credit profile and your credit needs apparently at the moment. Both Amex and discover provide FICO scores to card members so get access to that as well should you approved(which you will most likely).
We keep advise you to go for either an AMEX or discover because they tend to grant decent credit lines to new comers. I know someone with only a 7-8 month AU card on his profile(nothing prior to that) getting approved by AMEX for 6k and the AU credit line was less than half that so you might be surprised by what you may get by them.
With discover you get better rewards though because 5% categories give you straight cash back and you might spend on those anyways.
My opinion would be to to apply for one card now to take care of your expenses and later if you want to go reward chasing see what works for you best. Eventually you'll set up some credit card history as well and every lender will welcome you with open arms probably if you have a clean no credit chasing profile.
