Who is inquiry sensitive?

Trying to plan my strategy, but am looking to app in a few months for:

 

Lowes

NFCU Cash Rewards

USAA AMEX

 

What order should I app in for inquiry sensitivity?  I will have 7 on TU, 8 on EQ, 10 on EX.  Each will have only 3 within the last year, however.

Starting Score: 10/1/2011 EQ 568 TU 593
Current Score: EQ 664 TU 700 EX 701 (FAKO)

Re: Who is inquiry sensitive?

None of those places care about your inquiries.

 

If you were apping with PenFed, then you would need to have no inquiries.

When I apped for NFCU in march, I had over 15 inqs on TU, which they pulled.   I was approved for 22k, with no problems.

Hehe, I'm up to 19 now! 

 

Seriously, about 15 of these was from my horrible mortgage process.  I had to go through 5 different lenders, some of these lenders pulled credit up to 5 times
