I haven't posted here much lately, not worth getting into why. But figured I would add some DPs for community info.
See my sig for my overall credit persona, which is a bit weird. 365 days ago, I did not have any open accounts.
Approved in early March for Amex Delta Platinum. CL on the Delta Platinum was originally $20,000, more on this later.
Approved late March for Amex Blue Cash Everyday, $10,000.
Approved last week for a $1k CLI on my Amazon Store Card (I applied for a $2,500 increase and they countered with $1k, which I accepted). Approved that same day for a $3k CLI on my PayPal MC (I applied for $3k and they approved it ... should have aimed higher). This takes those cards to $6,000 and $8,000, respectively.
Approved last week for Citi AAdvantage Platinum, $11,000.
Approved earlier this week for a CL transfer of $1,500 from Delta Platinum to my older Delta Gold card. This takes Delta Platinum from $20,000 to $18,500 and takes Delta Gold from $1,000 to $2,500. Reason: it bugged me to have a card with an annual fee and a $1,000 CL, even though I don't use the card and will downgrade or close it after paying my next AF on it.
Approved today at the store for Citi Costco Anywhere Visa, $9,500.
I had planned to get Ducks Unlimited when my inquiries age enough, but after reading here last night that it's now just a 1.5% card, I have no interest in it. So I moved to my next choice, which was Citi Costco.
And, with that, I am done with adding cards (I think?) until I fall under 5/24 in late 2021 or early 2022 and probably pick up an Amazon Visa or something else from Chase. I plan to downgrade or close Hilton Aspire as well as Delta Gold after paying the AF in August since it partially duplicates the Platinum's benefits.
Congratulations on your approvals and CLIs!
Busy year of approvals! Way to go!

Yes - what a short strange trip it's been. There are two or three things I would do differently if I could do it over, but overall, very happy with how this has played out. Hopefully Amex doesn't freak out when the Citi cards show up and vice versa.
Congratulations!
Congrats! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
