Welcome to the forums! You have made some fantastic progress already. I'll defer to others on much of your post since I am no expert on rebuilding, but can address a few things here.
Your scores and relatively calm credit-seeking seem to put you in a good place for a good shot at the prime cards you want. From your wish list, you may qualify for the American Express Platinum card now - but even though an approval has a decent shot, it's important to to understand that while you have any collection accounts showing on your reports, your spending ability for the No Preset Spending Limit card may be quite limited, and you may have occasional calls to ask for a payment in order to continue spending, depending on how much you are using the card.
Have you checked the preapproval pages for Amex, Chase, Discover, etc.? Have you signed up for Chase Credit Journey? Sometimes preapproval offers that are near-guarantees can come through there. Are you eligible for membership at Navy Federal Credit Union?
What kind of rewards are you primarily looking for? Cash back, travel, a mix of both? Do you travel on Delta at least once or twice a year, or do you have another preferred airline? When traveling, do you have a particular hotel chain that you find yourself in? Do you have elite status with any airlines or hotels?
Finally, before applying for anything, with your job loss do you still have verifiable income?
HI K-in-Boston
Thanks for the advice 
I have been hesitant to try for more CC's, due to my low inquiries. I did try awhile back to do the Discover preapproval but my EX was on a freeze so unable to preapprove. I just never bothered to undo. I just removed after reading your response.
Answers to your questions
Thanks again

Just pre-approved for Discover IT: Chrome, Cash Back & Miles. Due to my unemployment status (sending out at least 2 resumes a day) I don't I should apply. Unless unemployment benefits are considered as income. I'm going to guess that would be a big NO. Please clarify if I'm wrong with this thought?
I will keep you posted on Amex & Chase. My gut is telling me these will not be as easy as Discover. Wouldn't it be fruitless of me to try if I'm unemployed?
Have you signed up for Chase Credit Journey? Have not, but will look into this. TY for this tip Sometimes preapproval offers that are near-guarantees can come through there. Are you eligible for membership at Navy Federal Credit Union? I will look to see if I am eligible. I currently have my banking with a local CU.
What kind of rewards are you primarily looking for? Cash back, travel, a mix of both? Both Do you travel on Delta at least once or twice a year, or do you have another preferred airline? I'll travel whichever airline that has the better price
When traveling, do you have a particular hotel chain that you find yourself in? No, whichever has the best price at time of bkg Do you have elite status with any airlines or hotels? No but my goal is to someday
Finally, before applying for anything, with your job loss do you still have verifiable income? Only income I can verify at this moment is my unemployment benefits.
You've done very well. But hold off until you get at least a few months in with your new job. Heres hoping you get a invitation to start work. Creditors will want to see a steady income. And some creditors will say you havet been employed long enough yet. Give it a little more time after you start working then grab a Disco! Good Luck! keep us updated!!!!!!!!
