AMEX Blue Sky and Continental One Pass
Hello
I need some help here. I want to get one of the cards above. The main reason is the initial sign-up bonuses. 300$ vs 30.000 miles. However I would like to be reasonably sure I get the card when I apply. I don't want an extra failed credit inquiry on my report. Which of the cards do you think is the safer bet?
My credit scores are around 765 and I live in Texas.
Also please tell me if you think there are any reason why I should not apply for one of the cards.
Thank you

You should reasonably get both as you said. THey might give you some pain with address / salary proofs and such ... AMEx now a days is notorious for that ... esp if you quote six figures. Now a days cash is the king (even if dollar is slumping) ... 30K conti miles are best used for 30K amtrak points = 10 one way trips on Amtrak NE. Other than that 300 us is way better. Sky is not a bad card per se.
