An "App-O-Rama" is just stripmining cards for miles if a one time event or plastic recycling when you take a second dip with the same chip. Recycling is so much better for our financial environment, but...ummm...I think I'll pass on dipping in your salsa bowl. Churn? Well, that is something you do to create butter. Simply not appropriate, as we create lucre, golden in color, but hard to spread around (well, at least since the mint closed<g>).

Lately, I have noticed a few (admirably enthusiastic) newbies conflating the term "churn" with "App-O-Roma," which is the term used when you apply for a bunch of different cards, all around the same time.

OP, what you have here is an app-o-roma.

Sorry to be the word-nazi, but I just thought I should speak up, before the term "churn" degenerates into just "a bunch of applications."
