No. not sams club member. the thought of paying that much for a glorified wally card. scares me but no problem for others. i thought amazon was a chase card. not sure.

Amazon Visa is a Chase card.  The store card (also available in MC) is GE.

I've had pretty good luck waiting 6 months in between Barclays applications.  Some people manage to get approved within 30 days for another card, but I think if you wait 5-6 months your chances are much better.

Between barclays alone or other applications. i applied last for them in january. the first week. but it did not do hp. now that i remember. and i did not recon.

but the actual number of accounts that i have opened in the last 6 months. is 3. two being credit cards and 1 being installment or siggy loan.

Taxi I applied for the SM in March and got the original RMC in Sept as you did.. Instant Approval I also added 4 new tradelines prior to applying for the SM that were all reporting and have 17 TU HP at the time on TU.  I was sitting about 698 at the time TU score wise.. So don't see why you wouldnt be approved?    Very very simliar profiles although i opened alot more accounts

So you opened 4 accounts since september?. let me think now since september.

to todays date.

hmm

Sept 08th is RMC and Mar 11 is SM (instant approval)..  You can't see my two AMEX's apps on this due to exp report, but at least you can see Chase

Apps between Barclays cards is what I meant. If it went to manual review I think you would be ok with 2 new accts in 6 months. But in one case they went back and rattled off my new accts in 24 months. I also think they're less sensitive depending on the card you're applying for.
