Where do I start... Ive recently applied to a string of credit cards within the past 2 months and have landed 3 (Cap1 - 1k, Freedom - 500, and Zync - NPSL). The Cap one was the first I applied for because I figured it would be the only one I'd get approved for. Got an instant approval for the one. Was kinda surprised. The 2nd one was the Freedom. I was denied but with a recon I was approved for $500. So, 2 weekes ago, i got that app itch after doing lots of research here on the site and learned that the zync is a good way to get your foot in the door with amex, so I applied. Instantly approved. I was shocked at that one too. The Amex card that I really wanted though was the blue sky preferred. Sooo, the following day i applied for the Blue Sky. I figured since I was instantly approved for the zync I might as well roll the dice and see if I get approved for the Sky. DENIED. I also 2 days after that applied to the 3rd card I really wanted, the Simplicity MC....DENIED.
There are 3 cards that I untimatley want in my life. The Freedom Visa (eventually the Sig Version), Amex Blue Sky Preferred, and The Simplicity MC.
I would love some advice on the best course of action to secure these cards. Please help. 
If those are your first three cards, just chill out for a year and then go get the Amex and Citi cards you want. Double-check your FICO beforehand but it's not likely to be an issue at that point.
