Well, of course that counted as a hard pull, and automatically locked my Sapphire app as pending when I applied. I don't think I should have a problem getting that approved (Experian 748) and long term Chase customer with only 1 card currently. But I REALLY wanted this (United) card before the exp date. Should I still give it a chance, or does that just look like I'm too desperate for credit with three requests today? Don't want to risk my Sapphire app too.

Thank you in advance!
