Which top tier cards? Other than Citi having some issues with seeing my income increase tenfold (I applied right after I started my job after I graduated from college), I haven't been denied for any cards (yet I don't have nor do I plan to have a mortgage.)
The only one that I'm "missing out" on is the Amex Centurion, but that's more of a status symbol than a useful points/miles card.
