Is there really a benefit to pulling the trigger on all apps at once? Back in the day of maximizing credit lines for 0% BT offers the conventional wisdom was to do an "app-o-rama" on the same day within a very short time period applying for the best offers first but I'm not sure it's value added if the goal is to maximize sign up bonuses while limiting inquiries and/or spreading evenly over the 3 reporting agencies. Better to pull the trigger only for the cream of the crop and leave capacity for future offers. I believe chase is the only one where you could theoretically save inquiries by applying for more than 1 (chase) card at the same instant in different browsers, but wouldn't be a benefit here since you are only applying for 1 chase.
