Interesting news regarding Capital One Aspire Travel cards. Starting this month, we will officially be able to redeem our miles without tiers, or minimum redemption. We will also be able to partially redeem towards large expenses (e.g. 15000 for $150 off a $200 charge). This is great news!

Bit of a a noob question. I've been reading for many years and I was wondering if there is a consensus about whether applying for several credit cards on the same day only shows up as one inquiry or not. I remember reading about it but I don't remember any conclusive information. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Several credit cards from different banks - definitely several inquiries.
Credit inquiries do not significantly lower your credit score. Maybe a point or two. However, when the first statement generates and a new account is reported by the bank to credit bureau - then you get a significant hit to your credit score (can be 50 points for two or more new accounts), and it takes a while to restore it.

good news though, and I'd be OK with losing ticket splitting and point transfers for that

For those of you who received a TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite from this promotion, did you receive the 10,000 bonus miles? I'm referring to this promotion:

Can I apply for, say, 2 new cards through GCR and then right away call to ask them not to give me additional credit?
