I completed a past due AOR Monday evening, nothing nutty and everything that should easily be in line for my situation:
-Ink Plus
-Club Carlson personal
-Chase Freedom
-upgrade AMEX Hilton to Surpass (does that even count?)

Freedom was easy, closed a super old SWA card to get it; which I wanted to anyhow.
Club Carlson - pending...
InkPlus - No phone decisions this week, so I was told... purgatory
Surpass - auto decision

I've not been turned down in 2 years of AORs, gotten them all. But now I'm thinking... what if I only go 2 for 4? My AOR date was a couple days ago... am I on the sidelines for 3 months? Can I strike after something else to occupy the time before it's too late, or is it already too late after AOR day... you know, before they see all the recent inquiries.

Any success stories dipping back in the AOR pool within the same week? I'm curious... not hopeful of the Plus, not heard much good about US Bank on heavy card holders...

Best, Mike
