Credit post Chapter 13

[Baywatch]

Greetings,

I am looking to start rebuilding my credit post chapter 13. I filed for Chapter 13 in September on 2015 and it was discharged this past December 2021. I have a few cards now (ollo, CreditOne, Merrick and BestEgg), but those are all starter cards and with the excpetion of the BestEgg card the limits are all below $2200. My BK has already fallen off of my experian report for some reason and will fall off of the others in September.

My individual income is ~ $290k and my joint income is ~ $410k.

My current fico8 scores are:
Experian: 764
Equifax: 734
TransUnion: 682

I am looking for a card with a starting limit of at least $10k, is that a realistic expectation? Obviously, if I can find a card that pulls Experian, I will have the best chances.

When considering a card, I am assuming that I should avoid any cards that were included in my BK plan? Does it matter that my Chapter 13 plan was a 100% plan, everyone ended up getting back 100% of what was owed eventually, but I  do not believe that really matters to them.

Thanks for any help/pointers!

Note: I have a prequal letter here from Capital One QuickSilver, is it worth applying for?

Anyway, I went ahead and applied for the Wells Fargo Active cash card and also the Amex Blue Cash card and was approved for both with a $6k limit on each. A bit under what I was hoping for, but I guess better than nothing at this point.

They both solely pulled experian.

Here is what I would do. Go to the bank that you do business with. Apply for a credit card through them IF the APRs are the lowest. If not, go to a credit union and apply for their AMEX card or VISA card. Do you travel? Then get a credit card with rewards. Don't apply all at once. You get dinged every time you apply for credit so apply for two cards every two years. 

I had a foreclosure after 2008. It messed up my FICO score for 7 years until that foreclosure fell off my credit report. During that time, I had a Capital One credit card that I used religiously and paid back every paycheck. Soon I applied for a Discover card and got that. Then Costco Citi card. I did this over time not all at once. 

My FICO scores rose after paying off my debt to where it is today close to 850 across the board.

Thank you, I was really just trying to work my way into a JetBlue card, but I was declined for that one.

I called the Barclays recon line this morning and was told they can't recon it because my old Barclays card was included in my Chapter 13 plan and is reporting on their end as discharged, even though it was eventually paid off 100% as part of my reorg plan
