Advice for timing of apps?

In about 10 months, my income will be significantly less, as i head into retirement, going from approx 100k to 30k. I'm mostly interested in cards with sign up bonuses & the actual CL's aren't that important to me, as i already have more than enough credit & am pretty debt averse. My scores are currently in the 700-720 range & slooooowly going up. Will it make any difference in approval if i apply while my income is still high or would i still get approved later when my income drops significantly?

You should be just fine later and you can use your retirement savings accounts towards income but mostly income comes into play for cl
