Not necessarily the right thread, but...
I opened several credit cards in the last few months (as in 5 or 6 within the last 4-5 months). My recent credit cards are offering me credit limits of about $1000 (probably because i have so much credit out there). I recently got denied for a business card for having so many inquiries and for having so many cards that are not being utilized.
The question: I want to get a Chase CO cc before the merger as i never had one and want to get in before CO merges. How long do you think it would take before i can safely apply and not run the risk of another denial because of so many approvals. Until recently, i was never denied for a card and my FICO was always around 780. Should i close some cards that i no longer need and then wait some time?
