No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Yes your overall util is 35%, but FICO scoring has another util calculation for each revolving account...individual util. So, you are probably going to take a hit for your USAir card reporting 86% util.

What's your goal, better scores or eliminating your CC debt?

it seems that it would pay to establish a new c/c account, transfer 3k or 4k to a new account (with a CLI of 8k-10k, higher the credit limit the better) and recalculate? Am I correct in thinking so?Thanks...
