Which cc next.....

Back story. Disc IT $2200(CLI 2/13), BofA $1500(CLI 3/13), Barclay $1200(no CLI since opened 4/12), GE bank $1500, Cap 1 $300(no CLI since opened 4-11), local bank $750(denied CLI 11-12).
Opened local bank, and cap 1 4-11. Disc and Barclay opened 5-12, and BofA opened 8/12.
4 inq fall off April 30th, leaves me with 3 on my CR.
Fico score as of today 663...dropped 14 points, should go back around 4/13. No charging till may 1st.
UTL 22%

Question are ????
1)should I apply for a chase or another card, OR
2) apply for CLI on Barclay and my local bank. Gotta wait on cap1, as I was an orchard bank member.

Any and all help guindence will be appreicited......mahalo

I would go for Chase Freedom and Amex Green. It's totally up to you. Some may also suggested that you hit the garden.

2013 Approvals: Discover IT - 3/1, Amex BCE - 3/4, CSP - 5/4, Barclay Ring - 6/12, BoA Privileges Cash - 6/27, Citi TY Preferred - 8/6, OCCU Duck - 11/4, USBank (Cash+) - 11/22, Wells Fargo - 12/21, Nordstrom - 12/29

12/19/2013, $100k+ Available Credit. Total Util: 0-1%

I'd try for a CLI from the GE card, $5k should be doable.  Once your UT is down and your score hits 680 I'd give Chase Freedom a shot.

If I were in your shoes, I'd wait until May to do anything.  Let those 4 INQ fall off, that will boost your score and look much better once you decide which way to proceed.  Also, you have a one year anniversary coming up with the Barclay card.  Now, I don't know much about Barclay, not having one of their cards, but in general, having 1 year of steady credit and payments would certainly improve your chances with Barclay.  Dunno how they are with auto-CLI, but at one year that also could be a possibility.  If nothing else, you'll be in a better position to request a CLI, and even if you're denied (which hopefully you won't be!), you'll be in a much better position to present your case FOR a CLI if you do a recon.
