Barclays Rewards (WMC) When to Apply?

HI All,

 

Just maybe 1.5-2 months ago, I did a mini app spree with AMEX Plat Morgan Stanley and Chase Freedom (both approved). Then my hands got itchy and I applied to Citi HHonors to build relationship with another lender. However, now I have my sights on Barclays Rewards as it has no AF and I can use it for my utilities card (one niche that i don thave filled currently).

 

Before the mini app spree, i did CSP and AMEX BCP about 7 months ago.

 

I think Currently my credit score is something like Transunion 700 Experian 670 and Equifax 710. With these stats, do  you think I can apply for the barclays soon? Or should I wait?

 

In terms of AAoA, its at about 2 years and I try to pay in full every time
