I have had a Corporate Amex since Feb and I started building personal credit six months ago when I got a secured BoA card and after getting rejected for the Marriott Premier in June, I got approved for an Amex Blue last month. I'm really interested in getting either the Marriott or the UA explorer but I don't know if I should wait some more or try getting other easier no fee cards first.
Marriott Premier is a Visa Signature, and minimum CLI requirement is $5000.
To start relationship with Chase, you can consider to apply for Chase Freedom card. This card is easy to get approved.
