Which one SHOULD I apply for?
Which of their PRIME cards is EASIEST to get?
I'm a VERY thin file beginner. 677 credit score (EX), 1 Macy's card, only 4 Months old, $10,000 limit. Less than 1% util., CLEAN FILE: NO baddies, 1 inq.
Based on information from your previous posts, you will likely only qualify for their subprime cards right now. The Capital One Platinum card was my first card ($300 limit), and then I got a Discover It card 5 months later ($500). This may be a good place to start. Getting premium cards with high limits this early on is just not likely at all, despite having a $10,000 store card.

Yes, good advice, +1. If you want a solid chance of approval go for the Platinum. With responsible use you may see an upgrade to the no AF QS as early as 3 months. Worst case, after 181 days from approval most folks have no issues PCing it it the QS. If you start with the QS1, it is the most difficult of any of their cards to upgrade. Good luck and let us know how it turns out!

^This
I did this to myself with the QS1, Apple card and other cards before I had my FICO scores 
Just wait the 2 months to get a FICO, then you can go with Amex and Discover with probably pretty good limits. Patience pays and you're so close!
Capital One starter cards are for rebuilding more than anything else now
