I am not interested in churning bonuses. The SM card is perfectly in ilne with my spending it would allow me to use their cards for the majority of my purchases. If I have to recon I have a very sound business reason for them to approve me (I would put all of my spending on their cards). I've PIF before the due date on the priceline card. I belive I have a very good shot at approval. I want to see if I can get them to approve me for world mastercard. I'll update the thread come may when I take the plunge.

I've had the priceline card for 3 months and just tonight applied for the Sallie Mae card. I got the 7-10 day message.
I'm going to call the backdoor number in the morning. I really just want to split the $6k line I have on the Priceline card to $4k on Priceline and $2k on Sallie Mae, but they might not go for that since its a World MC, it might need a $5k line. Maybe they'll give me the extra CL, but who knows.
Like the OP, with these 2 cards, most of my spending will be with Barclays.
I'll update what happens.
I got two Barclay cards a month apart but I wouldn't recommend trying that. I had applied for their Apple card because I was thinking about purchasing an Apple product and got a $1400 limit. A month later, I applied for their USAir card because USAir is the only airline that flies out of my small local airport and got $3500. When I apped, I actually didn't realize that Barclay's backed it or I probably would have waited. I never got the Apple product, so about two months after getting the USAir card, I called them to have the $1400 from the Apple card transferred to the USAir card and to close the Apple card, which they did. I think waiting at least 6 months is ideal for them.

I just thought I'd update y'all.
I just called and the backdoor rep was super nice. She approved the app for the Sallie Mae card no problems. No limit moving or anything. And it was approved for $5k! She did mention that normally "We have a 6 month waiting period between applications, but since you've handled your credit well..."
Bank of America is gonna be mad at me now that I have a new gas card.
