P2 mode: I’m looking for a way to optimize our approach to applying for new CCs. I’ve done total of 6 within last 12 months between me & wife, so 3 each. Want to apply for more but also want to keep our 5/24 open for the large welcome offers to drop. How many CCs do you apply for per year, and how far apart? How many would be too many too fast?

As long as you're aware of different bank rules, you can generally go as fast or as slow as you want. Chase 5/24, Barclays 6/24, Citi being very inquiry sensitive, Cap One being an enigma...

I would focus on biz cards as you try to soften your 5/24 status. I try to open 4+ cards a year for each of us, but mix in biz cards so we don't fly past 5/24.

That’s a great approach. I appreciate it, thanks!

What biz cards are you going with/what are you using for applying for those? We used to have a rental property but sold that so not sure

You can use your personal Social Security number to apply. That’s what I do and I use my income from my day job.
