AOD. That's it. This year I've been approved for the Amex Platinum, BBP, Amazon Bus Prime, Apple Card, Best Buy Visa and second Discover. Complete the 5k spend for 100k with the platinum. I will garden for the year. But what I want most is to learn how to display my cards on this site!

Just set the width for the card image rather than the height.

Yea I tried and failed. I'd rather have someone do it
This coming year will mark the time when my reports become clean again. With the DW as a gauge, I should be in the high 700's to low 800's after all derogs go away. I will be at a point then with no new personal accounts for a year and will be at 4/24 with very few INQ's aside from a string of NFCU denials on TU. I won't be looking for a huge amount of cards but want to focus on ending up with high limit cards. I have been paying in full since my rebuild began and don't see that changing. Lenders should like my DTI and Income also.
Personal Goal Cards:
If AOD 3% card is still there...
Penfed, FNBO or PSECU 2% card
Third NFCU Card and CLI's with the end goal of turning my FS into a large limit card.
Business:
Maybe go for an Ink card first even with my dislike for big national banks.
FNBO 2% Visa (An excellent Biz Card)
AMEX Business Card
On the chopping block: Apple Secured Card, Ollo and perhaps Good Sam store card unless they upgrade it. Also, If Discover keeps sending me denial letter, they will be kicked to the curb as well.
Until reports are clean, I will continue to try for SP Cli's and hit up Amex for a revolving Biz card monthly until they finally submit. Man it has been a long 7 years.

Ask one of the mods, they might get it started for you.
I think I have an idea of what I want for 2021. I am trying to dump the 1.5% CB cards that I carry to move into a more specific spend percentage. Travel isn't that important as I don't see traveling through 2021 unless something drastically changes as it relates to COVID-19.
Once my current mortgage is paid and I am paid out my equity, I will be paying off one of my CR Navy Fed card and PC it to either the AMEX or Platinum (most likely the AMEX) and then focus on paying off my GR Navy Fed and PC that to a Platinum.
Look at growing the CapOne QS card (which I don't really need but it's old)
Growing Disco (probably will never happen lol)
Growing PenFed (will be the daily driver after PCing CR Navy Fed)
Growing AmEx (secondary driver)
Looking for a new house to buy (Fall 2021)
Would look at AOD for the 3% CB after closing on a new house
Looking at the Elan Max Cash card again (5% of CB categories are helpful compared to 2% from PenFed) later in the year
I just picked up AOD 3% which was my prime target. If Elan allows PC's to the Max Rewards in the future, I'll turn my 1.5% Real Rewards card into that. If not, I might do an app in late 2021.
Honestly, AOD makes so many cards irrelevant it's funny. I opened up a "high yield" savings account at PNC back in March to age and ultimately gain access to their cards from California, but hey... I've made a whopping $4 in interest from the $688 in credit card rewards I transferred into there! 
I'll probably take some HP's for CLI's at BBVA and Chase, and see what they have to offer. I'll keep Chase around as UR will play well with my future vacation plans and Amex Simply Cash+ as well for a constant 5% off my cell bill. BOTW will hit a year next March, so I'll see what a SP gets me over there as well (I've put a TON of spend through that card and PIF every month, so they should offer up something!)
After that, I might start trimming some low hanging CL's (under $10K) to prepare for better offers should they come my way.
