I'm new to the points game and at the beginning of last month did my first app-o-rama. I applied and got approved for citi aadvantage visa/amex and chase hyatt and ritz cards. I was denied the hilton amex and spg amex. I'm planning a trip in October and realize that it would be nice to transfer all the chase freedom points that I've acquired into free Hyatt nights (I'm looking to redeem a category 4 hotel, thus I want to save my free night awards from the chase card for a more expensive property).
So given that I just got approved for two chase personal cards, which card (Ink or Sapphire) will I have the best chance of getting approved if I applied in the next couple days (after waiting 30 days from last apply)? Should I wait until September (60 days)? I'm wondering if I should apply as soon as possible because it might be harder to redeem closer to the date that I want to stay (Oct-4-6), especially since this is during China's golden week.
Since I'm applying for another card and taking the credit score hit, any suggestions for other cards to apply for?
