My EX inquires are building up too. I made a few mistakes and have had GECRB pull EX and also a dentist. Now I'm living with them on there for the next year plus. now I leave EX frozen, when I got my Fidelity Amex I asked FIA to pull TU and they didn't give me any problem. I still want a 2nd Cit AA Ex and an Amex Platinum. I know that will add 2 inquires to EX there.
