You don't have anything to lose by applying for your 6th credit card.

However, DO NOT do anything to your GOLD charge card until you definitely have an open ED or EDP. Keeping your Gold charge card will have no impact on your credit cards, and closing it before the ED or EDP is approved could be a disaster. Good Luck.

so what number did you call? And did you call in asking about why the app was denied and they said due to the limit? And if you close one of the cards they immediately approved you?
