Experian's report does not explicitly distinguish HPs and SPs.
This should be the reason for the high number of credit pulls.

freeze your experian https://www.experian.com/freeze/center.html and apply away. just remember, any company that pulls experian will decline you.
once you know you are declined, call ask them to pull a different bureau.

Two useful sources for you
Rekehs mentioned the first one, just put in the CC or bank you're looking into with your state and it will give you a good idea what bureaus you're working with.
And here's an article with datapoints of how most banks handle the freezing of a credit bureau.

Have a 14 years credit history with a paid off mortgage. My utilz rate is 3% and I have 3 cards with citi and one of those is a biz card and the total credit with those cards is about 20k.

That 20k is probably your problem. They're not willing to extend you any more credit and 20k isn't high.

Wouldn't they tell me that instead of giving me the too many inquiries excuse? I can move some credit around if that was the case, I called the citi executive office and the person I talked to was nice enough to tell me the reason that was denied, not like the regular rep who just flat out said wait for the denial letter.
