You've proven your case, lol.
If it's a SCT card you know you will use and PIF as to not get slammed with sky high interest, then it may be worth the trouble to apply.
It's all about how and where you use your cards.

I like it when a credit card company approves me without me having to say what my income is. I don't pay much interest because I keep my utilization low. I totally ignore interest rates on credit cards. I bought a Yoshi knife and a vegetable peeler for less than $20 on the HSN card.
Epic.
And - to answer you from before - I clear my history - use various IPs, (work vs. home) and use different browsers...
