Rebuilding- Cap 1 story and questions.

I had a BK discharged 4/2014. No open accounts other then student loans. 8/2014 I got pre qualifed for a Cap platinum MasterCard 2k limit. 10/2014 got pre qualified for a QS MasterCard 2k limit. 3/2015 Credit steps on the Plat to 3k. 3/2015 for some strange reason I got pre qualified for Venture 10k limit! My scores were EQ 641 TU 656 EX 664. Utilization was 6%, baddies from before BK, lates 2 years ago, ect ect.

Now my question is how do I pursue Capitol one cause I have 3 cards now. 2 subprime and 1 venture. I want the QS visa signature and I am trying to when I should try and PC or wait and see if I can Pre qualify for a QS visa. Since my history with Cap 1 is only like 8 month old I am hesitant to use the EO for anything. Any suggestions as to how I proceed to get better cards/higher limits. I am thinking just gardening and doing the luv button in 6 month for the venture and then maybe call the EO and ask for a PC?

Starting Score: 571
Current Score: 641
Goal Score: 700

For reasons only know to Cap1 many people are getting the Venture card with good limits. I would do a little gardening and then once your scores come up more try for prime cards.
