They were very reasonable when I dealt with them... Maybe say that you're planning on moving, switching careers, switching airlines, etc and anticipate an entirely new spend pattern, so you applied for a few cards--as soon as your new x number of cards arrive, you're going to cancel all the existing ones. And as part of your new plan you anticipate spending $_____ per month on your US card. They might buy that...
