I went for a new card every time first before the CLI. And for me it was fantastic results as per my signature. But it maybe ymmv for each profile.
I appd for the go rewards card first then the more rewards card next then appd for CLI on go rewards which resulted in a 3X CLI from initial SL of 1K to 3K and more rewards SL of 25K.
Finally I appd for flagship card with 23,900 SL and a CLI on more rewards card of 8K from 25K to 33K. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Good luck with your journey 👍.
