Just added another citi platinum AA and a blue biz amex this week so thinking it would be good to include this now before those applications hit the credit record.
Opened cards can take weeks to show up, but the HP from the app shows up instantly now. You might want to wait a while so that B/A doesn't see those 2 recent HPs and get skittish.
Of course it all depends up which CB B/A pulls for you. If it's not the same one as was pulled for those 2 other cards it won't matter at all.
