Well it would help to know what other cards you have and what your interests are before giving recommendations.

Congratulations & Welcome To myFICO Forums!

 

Just a suggestion, Where do you Mostly spend?, I hate to see people get cards that they really don't benefit from,

and regret getting the Card Later On. Speaking from Experience here.

 

list your areas where you spend, and how many cards you have applied for in the last 12 months.

and maybe the average Age of your accounts, also your Oldest Account.

 

This way The Forum posters, can give you some better guidance.

 

also, if you don't really need another card,  let your scores come up by not applying for too much Credit.

it looks like something is holding down your EX Score?, maybe work on that if possible.

 

and since you just applied for a Barclay Card, Be Careful, you open too many cards after that right away, They Will Close Your Account.

 

you will probably get some other suggestions, and they could be better than mine! (Most Likely)

I have a charge off on Experian that’s the problem

Tend your cards properly and work on that chargeoff. Experian is a pretty popular bureau to pull for the big players like Amex and Chase. Cleaning it up would go a long way toward improving your odds on some major league keeper cards.

I would recommend navy federal cash rewards or go rewards credit cards! Or capital one quicksilver one and platinum credit cards.

I can’t get in navy because of EWR that I’m currently disputing. I also messed up with capital one in the past ( year 2017) and I’m not sure if I’m still in the system ?
