Great point! I'll be doing the some round of applications for myself in a few days.
For whatever reason, I developed the habit of doing applications for my husband and me on different days.
I'm in the same boat as your wife. Credit 780+, don't work outside the home anymore, etc, but I have not been denied any credit. In the last year, the two of us have earned nearly 1.5 million in various airline and hotel points through credit card bonus and spend.
Yay for good credit.
