That's old news though. Biz has been like that for a while. Personal tightening seems very recent. It wasn't that long ago when I was getting 2 Chase cards every 4-5 months. I would apply 2 in a day to merge into one pull. Sometimes had to call for 2nd approval but always easily done by moving CL. Now we get this crap about having 13 cards in 2 years is unacceptable.
