It was more than 5 cards. I tried for 10 and got 9. A business card got away bec I couldn't prove my business address  ::)
After the first card or two, I did the free trial thing at myfico.com and it reported that my score was 805.
After reading Dan's summary about the relatively short term impact of credit card inquiries, I figure my score will still be in the upper 700s somewhere, but ... I'm too cheap to pay myfico to find out exactly  :P

At the end of the whole thing,
I tried the two browser method and got accepted on one. I got a letter saying that I have applied for way to many cards. I called up chase and transferred some credit from one card to the other.  Now I have gotten three chase cards within 3 weeks!

Thank you everyone for all your help.

Mazal Tov! Well done!

Next time apply for all three @ once and you're more likely to get approved (instantly) and get only one credit pull.
