After fits and starts and jumping through hoops, I now have the Explorer card on its way. This was surprisingly difficult considering my scores, overall profile, and 25 years of positive history with Chase. You can read the gory details in the applications forum if desired:

This was the last card on my wish list, and might end up as the last credit card I ever apply for. While I'm (hopefully) a few decades from checking out, I have the cards I want, and am not interested in getting new cards just for the sake of new cards. I do see a mortgage in the next year or two, but other than that I'll probably be a long term gardener.
