Just did 5 apps for my husband. Got 5 approvals; 2 required reconsideration
Citi Hilton 50k x 2 (2 browser trick) yielded 2 instant approvals. The only weird thing was the "congratulations" wording on the Firefox version said MY first name and not his. I know I used his SSN and name, so I'm pretty sure we're okay, but I'm somewhat concerned and confused by this.
Chase United 50K - his 4th Chase card (Sapphire, SW, Priority Club) required an easy call to reconsideration.
Amex Hilton 40k - instant approval
Barclay US Airways (2nd card, got first in Dec 2011). Required reconsideration call to find out why we wanted a second card. CSR also wondered why the first card isn't used much. Gave a good enough reason for both and got the approval.
Net:
50K United
140K Hilton
40K US Airways
All in all, a pretty good start to my Saturday

Do you have these cards in your name too? If not why not, doubles the points! We always do Apps seperately in our own names, my wife does not work, we use family income with her listed retired, never denied so far ( have had to call CSR a couple times for reconsideration) Her credit score score is 770+
