I was thinking of applying again for the Chase Marriott Visa in my upcoming app-o-rama, would it therefore be advisable to do it in the order of Chase -> TD -> Amex -> MBNA? (Assuming I'm unsuccessful in using product switches to get the TD and MBNA cards I want).
With TD taking over MBNA, I don't know how easy or hard it is to get approved at MBNA. A complaints handler a couple of weeks ago mentioned he has to report to his boss at TD.
If you have been with Amex in the past, or even better are now, it should be like a walk in the park getting approved with them. I always do them last.
I would do chase -> TD/MBNA in order of level of card requirements -> Amex
