Thanks for the advice--just a bit confused on your advice. I'd like to app for one more card right now, a dining rewards card (any recommendations? I haven't found any clear best in this category), but do you think applying for and opening a new account will make AMEX wary of giving me a 61-day CLI? You said I might be okay to do this, but perhaps to wait 6 months instead...which would be your best advice?
Thanks again everyone.
