Question Strategy for getting Barclays Arrival+ , Chase Ink Unlimited, and Uber Cards

Hi all,

I have applied for Barclays Arrival+ recently. I got hit with income verification via tax return. Docs submitted. Waiting now.
I also want to get Chase Ink Unlimited and Uber credit cards. The later one is issued by Barclays also. What should be my strategy?

I think if I after review, I am approved for Barclays Arrival+, I should apply right away for Chase Ink and Barclay Uber cards. I think so because the Arrival+ credit pull is already on my report, therefore it doesn't matter when I apply for the Ink card. And if I am declined the Arrival+, I should not apply for the Uber card at all.
So, the only tricky case is when I am approved for the Arrival+ card. What should be my strategy to get both Ink Unlimited and Barclays Uber cards in this case?

Thanks fellows!

Can you meet all the minimum spend requirements to gain your bonuses in 3 months? That's almost $9,000 spend in 3 months.

IF approved for the Arrival+ I'd wait 30 days and apply for the Chase card (check Chase forum for Chase's 5/24 policy). Barclay is all over the board with multiple approvals in a short period of time. Maybe wait another 60 days and then apply for the Uber card. Our game is a marathon not a sprint. As always YMMV.

Thank you for your advice.

I'd slow play it, like philemer said, this is a marathon, not a sprint. I'd say get your approval on the arrival+ card, meet the minimum spend on it, then plot out your next move.
