You may as well wait, before they put you on some blacklist?

Every 3 months is very aggressive. Same AMEX card or not?

I get by AMEX fine with every 6-12 months, or just alternate between cards

Only one I churn'ed quick was Platinum (cancelled Jan 2017 and re-applied March 2017 before $1000 jumped to $3000 spending). Approved and got 60K already

See my Card history here on RFD (post #2 ) since 2015
