I wasn't going to post these approvals, thrill of card approvals is gone for me at this point, but I figured if the information might possibly help someone else then it should be shared. 
Applied for United MileagePlus on 10/14 at 5am. Got further review needed screen, 30 day email, 30 day automated phone message. Foolishly didn't take my own advice with Chase and called the next day. Approved for $12k after application review and verification. I feel it may have been higher had I simply waited for a decision. EQ pull.
Applied for Marriott card on 10/15 at 12pm. Card showed up online within less than three hours. Approved for $5k. I think this minimum limit is Chase subtly letting me know I'm either at my limit with them based on income or to cool it with applications. Understandable. Same EQ pull used.
United Offer: 30k miles after $1k spend + $50 statement credit + 5k miles authorized user, AF waived
Marriott Offer: 50k points after $2k spend, AF waived
United I have a use for so I'll be overpaying a few bills when the card arrives but 50k Marriott points aren't particularly useful to me for the category of hotels I prefer with them so Im not even bothering with meeting the spend and likely wont use the card at all. I would have preferred a $17k credit line on the United card, a $17k CLI on my current cards would have been even better (yea right) but thats not how Chase works for most and I have zero faith in them approving CLI's for me after a HP so this will do. Both will be closed before AF(s) are due.
Score: EQ 724, not sure of my internal score with them at this time
Inqs: 10? I think its 10, possibly 9
AAoA: Was 2 years exactly before the Citi card reported, not sure of the drop since then
Util: 6%, rising to about 15% next month then a little lower once these cards report in December and payments are made on DP balance
btw I didnt wait for the 50k miles offer with United bc Im not interested in spending $3k, or $2k with some offers, to get them. 35k miles is enough for a one way business ticket to a few destinations I have in mind and unlike my bad experience with AA miles due to lack of research on my part there's a nice variety of flights offered when using United miles from SFO.
Last but not least since being here I've learned its a bit unrealistic to claim I'm 100% done with applying. Life happens and needs change. I needed a second no FTF option besides Discover since I'll be taking two international trips within the next four months and also wanted the option to easily consolidate limits and close cards later.
Congrats Heaven that is cool!!!
edit 'cause I read the last paragraph again!! LOL
Of course I'm moving the credit line over before canceling! With both cards. 
No biggie I know it sounds a little crazy at first glance to not be interested in the points. Truthfully that second card could have been anything with a $5k minimum lol Thats all I was concerned with. The only two that immediately came to mind were CSP and Marriott, neither of which have spend requirements I care to meet. Wasnt sure about minimums on the others. Just knew a second pull wouldnt happen so picked one and went for it.

LOL I am putting it down to not fully reading the post, shame on me, that is why I edited my response....I am SOOOOOO getting old....BUT the consolidation of CL is an AWESOME reason especially with Chase.....and ESPECIALLY with one CR pull!! YAY for you!!!
Congrats Heaveny! You can transfer the marriot points to me .. Saddens me to see a bonus goto waste, but at least you got both on one HP.. Seems Chase is finally willilng to extend you alot more credit than they use to being willing to, guess it just took a bit of time, hoping for the same with myself as I find them my lowest lender now when they use to be my highest last Dec.. Guess I shall find out when I apply for a card or two in Nov with them.
CC they are really weird about things. I seriously doubt they would have given me an extra $1k if I had asked for an increase never mind $17k total. Boggles the mind.
GL next month!
