No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
It depends on how many of those inquiries were made on your EX report and if they were made in the last six months. It would help if you posted some more specific stats up. Slow down on the store cards as well.
Freeze all reports, that will help with the itch

The store cards were definitely a mistake. I could have just charged my purchases to my other cards. I still would have had zero percent financing. So I have 11 inquiries total 4 of which are on Ex that are about 4-5 months old. And utilization is at 6%. AAoA at almost 6 months with my oldest card being at 16 months.
The maxmimum recent inquiries you can have before applying for Citi cards in general is six in the last six months and it's wise to wait 8 days after your last Citi app before going for another Citi card. I've read Flyertalk on this stuff before.

*Sprays OP with Benadryl* Give it a couple more months to try for the double cash and 8 months for the SM. Cool your jets with the store cards.
