Congrats on the approval!!!

And we don't know your history as why your scores are low but I would garden and don't use no more than 30% total UTL and PIF every statement..  Your scores should be in the 600's in 6 months-1 yr.

I would follow above advice and don't get the First Premier so you won't have all those fee assoc. w/ it, Since you already have a few cards to establish a good history on.

NO... garden with your 3 and work on the baddies... you don't need more than 3 cards to build the best score.

Congrats . I hate to be the one to tell you this but Capital one doesn't upgrad secured cards . Your stuck with it until your report is good enough to drop it .
