Hey Up,
I know it isn't the specific card you were asking about, but I recently apped for their Gold charge card and got approved. They pulled EX, which was a mere 718 for me at the time - it had 11 inquiries on it from the last 2 years, 7 of which were due to a recent app/CLI request spree. In spite of all these inquiries and the 3 other brand new credit accounts I've recently opened, the credit analyst I spoke with seemed pretty happy to accept me.
I do have a Blue with them that I have been PIFing the tar out of since a CLD due to poor financial management on my part a few years back - so whether or not that counted for or against me, I'm not sure.
My EQ and TU are considerably higher (due to the lack of inquiries I think) - in the 765+ range - but since they pulled EX they have no way of knowing that, so I'm wondering if they're really as selective as people make them out to be.
Good luck with everything!
