- Chase United - 50k
- Chase Sapphire Preferred - 50k
- BoA Hawaiian Air - 35k
- Barclays USAir - 40k
- Capital One Venture - 80k

Looking for my next card, and was thinking either:

1. Chase Freedom (take advantage of having the Sapphire Preferred and being able to transfer Freedom points to partners; no annual fee)
2. Chase Hyatt (2 free nights, etc..)

Ideally I'd like both, but with 2 Chase cards already (applied same day for Sapphire Preferred and United, got denied 2nd app - United; called up and they approved), I'm not sure if I could get another. It's been around 30 days since I got the last one.

Any advice this? Should I go for one or the other now, wait X days, or try a different card? Suggestions?

I thought Chase required a six-month wait between their card applications, but sounds from the above as if YMHV.
