Everyone's situation is different but I was able to convince them I NEEDED the Pref. Sapphire card with little effort.
With Chase you have a better chance of success if you wait 60+ days between apps. in my experience. But too many TOTAL hard pulls can disqualify you too.

I've gotten approved for two chase cards that I applied for on the same day. What you need when you call is a legitimate reason for having both. In my case, it was the UA card and the CO card. I simply stated I flew both airlines, and until the merger, I wanted both cards as I wanted to keep my expenses seperated. I also was able to get the BA card and Sapphire card later on within 2 months of each other.
