2) Chase Freedom Visa - 10K UR (I have MC version - explain need for VISA)
3) Chase Hyatt - 2 Free Nights (HUCA until Rep lets me get third card - explain I need a hotel card as I have none with chase. I can close/move credit line of my SW or United Chase Cards)
BOH & BOA: (3 or 4 Browser) - Hoping 1-2 Inquries
1) BOH Hawaiian Airlines - 35K (First one in Aug 2012 - canceled 2 months ago)
2) BOA Hawaiian Airlines - 35K (First one in Aug 2012 - canceled this month)
3) BOA Virgin Atlantic - 20K (First one in Aug 2012 - canceled 2 months ago)
4) BOA Alaskan Airlines - 25K (Speculative - never had before but could use the miles if no additional inquiry)
That looks like too many cards from 1 issuer. It may be possible but I have not seen many people report success on this. I have received 2 chase personal cards in 1 go but 3 maybe stretching it. I applied for 2 BoA and 1 BoH card and they didn't approve my 2nd BoA card. Also, the HA miles cards are not great value (unlike UA 50k, Hyatt or CSP when the bonus was higher). I see that you are looking for Hilton points so I presume you know the value (the $79 AF is NOT waived 1st year).
Good luck & please report how your apps go.
