I am getting ready for my next mini app spree for some SUBs. Out of Citibank, Wells Fargo and Bank of America, which of these issuers are the most/least lnquiry-new account sensitive? I am currently 0/6 and 2/12; my Fico8 Experian is 765 and I already have credit cards with all 3.
@pete19103 citi is most sensitive so start with them

Due to DPs I've picked up here, I'd start with Citi. I'm unfamiliar with Wells Fargo so I can't speak to them.
A few years ago, I applied for three cards within a few days, including BoA, and I got approved. Of course, ymmv.
Just want to point out that juggling multiple SUBs could be risky. That's $1000s of dollars to spend in 3 months. I remember reading about the member who just underspent while working toward two different subs and lost out on both. Just something to keep in mind. Good luck!

I usually try to line up a root canal, with insurance renewal, or new tires etc. a couple largish purchases you are going to make regardless of subs, when getting a few cards at once.
another great tactic is funding a new credit union checking and/or savings account. I don't know if any that allow it other than Affinity but they allow you to fund upto 1k using a credit card and it doesn't code as cash advance. I am sure with some googling you could find a few more that work the same. Best part about this is you could potentially use that same account to get a new sign on bonus with that credit union.

I funded my AOD with my Double Cash at the minimum amount required, but kicked myself later when I realized there were no fees or charges to fund with a credit card.
