That brings me to:
May - Amex Zync
June - FNBO Rewards
July - Discover More
August - Barclays Apple Financing
4 new cards in 4 months makes me nervous I have to admit since I have many new inquiries and TLs. Now I really have to stop and let my new cards grow and close all Capital One cards which are now paid. I don't need Amex or any other creditor upset at all my new TLs.
CONGRATS!!!!
Nice CL!!
I just had some recon success with them also. Very pleased with the experience.
I applied online for the Priceline Visa. I travel every week and spend about $1000 to $1500 per month on name your own price hotels so this would be a good rewards benefit for me. The online app denied me. Probably too many inquiries in the past year. I called their backdoor number and was answered direclty by a credit analyst. Very impressed that there was no automated attendant or other hoops to go through. Went straight to an American consultant.
The very nice rep just verified my income and employment and asked about an account opened six months ago but said my overall credit profile looked good. Gave me approval for $10k. Wow.... 
It was definately worth giving them a call. It can't hurt if the online app denies you.

Just had exact same experience today. I was asked about several accounts opened this year but was eventually approved for the same amount. Really nice people. :-)
Congrats!!!
