Very similar to my initial guess on the "look back period"

After a quick scan of this thread I'm now thinking we may be seeing the "look back" period as a year or less. In my case the "look back" period was only about 8 months. I'm not saying my case will hold true for everyone, the posters I've seen in this thread who have been denied for being previous cardholders have all had their latest citi card this year (2010).
what do you think.i have an active card that is 2.5 yrs old,and i havent applied since a year ago,should i cancel my card and wait a little and then apply or should i just applyany recommendations?thanks
