I'm curious about that too.

Your best source for this sort of data is using the credit pull database. What are your scores and how does your credit profile look like?

I applied for both the Apple Rewards and the Rewards MC last week. I was approved for the Apple Rewards but turned down for the Rewards MC. My denial letter for the Rewards said reason for denial was too many applications (tried to sneak in second, but didn't work). My TU score is 665 and I have 2 collections that I waiting to fall off. Hope that helps.

My TU score was 800 when I apped for the Sallie Mae, and I had to recon and transfer the limit from another card to get approved. It ain't just about the score.

That's what I'm afraid will happen to me. When I got my Barclay Rewards card, it was approved for $2,500. I had to move $4,500 from my unused Ring card to make a $7k CL. Once I'm ready to leave the garden in a few months I want to get the Sallie Mae card, but afraid I'll have the same thing happen as you did. And, right now my score is hovering around 800 too.
