I applied for all three 75k offers back at the beginning of August and got approved only for the Amex card (which I now know was not the most intelligent decision). I want to try again before the deal ends, most likely for the 100k offer. How stringent is the 60 day rule, i.e. if I apply 59 days after my original three apps, will that completely reset the clock and thus kill the deal for me? Also, anyone have odds on whether the promotion will last until the end of October? I ask because I'm going to Europe for two weeks in the middle of October, and if I apply before I leave it'll be too soon, and I'm afraid if I apply when I get back it'll be too late.
