your enthusiasm is commendable, some of your tactics need refining. As hikert said you wasted an inquiry or two, one with the citi AA card and the amtrak 30k offer is substandard.

applying in bunches works as it limits the inquiries the competition can see if all done on the same day. I try to do mine in the am so they have all day to process the apps and make sure all inquiries get pulled.

Although your info is indeed confidential it helps to know what your credit scores were and current number of inquiries before the churn so we can compare your results to our own personal situations.

I would have chosen the chase priority club 60k offer over the Amtrak card. each inquiry is worth at a minimum of $500 of value to me or the SW two flights offer which ends 8/8 at 8 am.
