Discover was when I learned there were 'too many' yet also had a bank account app denied and from there just laying low yet itchy to get these other cards on the roadmap acquired and out of the way.
For discover I will wait and use their pre-approval tool in advance. It is the others and the less popular. 2+ inquires in 6 months, I am way over. Do I need to sit tight for the next year? Part of the rush is to go quiet again and exit the 5/24 jail in 24.
