GIve them a couple of months of posted statements paid then make a run. Or if you have spotless credit with mid to high 700's do it now.

I got BCP a week ago, got PGR yesterday.

After I was approved for gold delta, I applied a week later for the BCE and was declined.

I would recommend you wait. From reading posts on here it appears that too many apps too soon might get you either declined or FR'd.

Just my humble opinion.

I held my Gold PR card for a little over a year (~13 months) before applying for their Clear card; Waited a couple of months and applied for the Blue Cash card.

I got Gold Delta and BCP a week (to the day) apart.

I would apply and if you get denied, call in to gold card account services and ask them to have underwriting review your application manually.
