It also might be to call the reconsideration number (888-270-2127 or 888-245-0625) after you are denied a card to see if you can close a card or change credit limits to get another. I would start with the Sapphire Preferred card and the Amex card, then try for the Continental card. They might even be liberal about the Chase Freedom card, as it is very different from the others.

Thanks for your reply. I think I will put this type of warning on my 7/1/11 post on my What's New page.
