Please suggest. Thank you!!!
A good way to go about this, is to visualize an aim/direction that you want to take.
What do you want to do with these points? Where do you want to go?
And then plan accordingly.

For example, if you're not planning on staying at one of the aspirational Hyatts then getting the Hyatt card for the 2 night certs, makes no sense.

It's not going to be easy especially because of the short credit history.
BUT if you play your cards right, in a year's time, you could get ANY card you want.

Right now, I'd just "garden" the cards. Don't do anything over the top. Let your history build.
Then do an AOR in about 6 months. Choose cards based on your needs.

And remember two things.
1. Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.
2. Help shall always be given to those who ask.
