5 inquiries past 6 months (all on EXP) and 8 new accounts opened in 2013 (1 biz). Barclays website has my FICO at 806.
I have the US Air card (1/13/13) - minimal use after first spend but I did dust it off last month in anticipation of this app
I don't really do big AoAs - mostly do 1 app/month skipping the occasional month if no good offers.

Was going to wait until after 2/20 when 2 of the inquiries would fall to > 6 mos but decided to just go for it now as I'm going to cancel the US Air now that the AF and 10K annual bonus miles have posted. I wanted to get this one approved before calling to cancel. Hoping to get the US Air at least one more time before it goes away.
I'm in a similar situation. Have the US Air, about to apply for arrival card and want to do a second us air card. What's your plan to get that second one?

You going to wait 2-3 months and then apply for a second us air card?
