I had been planning it for a couple of months and went for it mother's day weekend. AMEX Gold PRG, AMEX Platinum, AMEX Blue Cash Preferred (10 K), Citi AA Executive World Elite (30K), Furniture Store ( 10K ) all approved !! Chase Sapphire was held for more info and approved when I called the next day. All they wanted was to confirm my name (ended with a $16K). Discovery approved at $14.5K
I could not believe I got all three AMEX cards with only one hard pull! I went for the 3x CLI with AMEX BCP upon activation and got it to $ 30k. The Citi AA was a last minute add on also and I am very surprised at the high CL.
I posted this earlier, but I wanted to add that of all the banks and card companies, I am most impressed with Citibank. I realized I did not have any cards with a balance transfer benefit and I started looking into it. Because Citibank gave me the most generous CL, after thinking about it for a couple of days I decided to push my luck and try the Citi Diamond Card and they just approved me with a $15k credit !! The rep could not have been friendlier.
Before all this, I only had two cards : Wells Fargo ($8k) and Venture($6k). I was not really familiar with cards benefits, nor with how "the system works". I can not believe with just a few HPs I increased my CL to over $100k. I would have never accomplished this without the forum. Thank you all once again!!
And CITIBANK is the way to go!!! I hope I am contributing a few data points to the forum as well.
EXP 724 Fico 8, EQ 745 Fico 8 - Only 2 inquires in the last two years which will drop off by october. No baddies in 2 years, but plenty careless ones before that. Now time to garden FOREVER. I did not apply to any Barclay's cards because my TU score is 675 and I have an old BOA account that is bad and will drop of in 2018. Knowing which cards to apply based on whic CC bureau gets pulled has been part of my success.
