according to The FWF Card issuer faq Advanta limits you to 1 card. I don't know if it is correct, but something to consider. Firstnational did 54 apps in his AOR, and I am planning 75+ and my friend maybe 100-200 apps. You could add some more banks, or CUs.
You only have 3 accounts so far, so your score may take a big hit with all the new accts lowering average age.

BTing tons to any one card could raise a red flag. That was my biggest concern during the big AORs. I would spread mine out. If the BT to Debit card works with certain bank accounts, that sounds like the way to go. I would like to hear more people confirming, that say, Citi or XXX bank or CU debit cards work, before I take a hard pull to open a Citi checking acct. Citi is also SLOW with sending the refund checks, so look to lose almost 1mo in interest. BofA ACHd to my Checking within 2 days, but before the MBNA merger. There are other threads on this very topic. Debit card BTing
Getting 0% money out of cards that won't BT to checking

I have applied same strategy as you until my cards age enough to do a 0% BT AOR. I think all your Chase cards carry an annual fee. I made sure to start out with a no fee card from each issuer so I can consolidate and keep the CL and age in my credit report.

markkundinger: Thanks for the tip on other accounts. I was waiting until after my AOR to open a citi bank account for the AA bonus. Didn't know about Fidelity, so I'll look into that.

Andjen: good point. I'll see if I can get another chase card higher up the list that I can consolidate onto.

With all of this feedback (and because some of my cards may not go through from the big guys, I may look for a few more 0% cards to round out my list. I would like at least a few cards to try out the 0% thing this time around. Maybe I'll try some smaller banks or credit unions.

andhravala said:I am also looking to apply for southwest airlines cards. It will be great if you can update the thread with the links when you are ready to apply.

i will post my final spreadsheet when I am ready to go, but this should be all the current links I plan to use. I hope the formatting comes out ok.

For the southwest, I see both card offers when I log in to my account on southwest.com btw.

BobbyRobert said:Its a great idea but my experience with the airline cards is that nearly all of them have annual fees that my be burdensome after the first year (but then again I am a neophyte here)

True. I didn't clarify, but I intend to close almost all of these once I get the awards and move the CL to non-fee cards. I am trying to gain points to help reduce honeymoon costs.

dbalkunjr said:NOT TRUE about limit of 2 accounts in 60 days. I wish all you people would stop saying that like it is gospel. I di my November AOR and applied for 30 and got 29 approved. Of the 29 approved were all SEVEN Citi cards I applied for. Two were business cards. The rest were personal. Ended up with $100k combined cl's just from Citi.

Thanks for the update. I added more than 2 because I had heard some people get more than 2 through, but I put them in order JIC some don't go through. Were any of the 5 personal cards Co-branded? The FAQ implies that they may not be held to the same limits.

Bumping my thread. I think I will be doing this Thursday morning, so I will post updates as it goes along. Tonight I am looking for a few more banks with 0% offers since I have quite a few already with the big banks.

Thanks Polar.

It's go time. A little later in the day than I intended, but I am starting now. Will post updates.
