Never hurts to ask I guess

And, does anyone have a data point that some cards are just plain easier to get and thus the approvals knocked the others out of consideration?

No, but if you got approved for 27k you should have gotten the cards you applied for first, but I am assuming you bunched them all together at same time.

Was also advised no free night e-cert since I had the card before (didn't have opportunity to use the cert) even though it's been 4+ years since it was closed.
Stays in their system for many years.


Advice.....Firstly, I would spend some serious time reading this forum, which if you would have done prior to your AOR it would have saved you some issues. Never apply for 4 cards from same issuer on same day. Spread them out and I never do more than 1 personal and 1 business per bank, but typically just one or the other per bank every 3ish months. Chase has closed all of peoples accounts shortly after trying for so many new cards at once (you look very credit needy, which they do not like)...so pray that does not happen to you.
