HSCB card - will existing cards affect my chances?

Hi, I can't find any of those old threads about which card providers are linked to one another and I need some advice.

Am thinking of applying for the HSBC card recently discussed on here (for stoozing) and want to know whether any of my existing cards will rule me out of getting one.

I have:
A Sainsburys card - active as my purchases card
A Lloyds TSB card - active as a stoozing card
A Natwest card - active as a stoozing card
A Halifax (charity) card - active as a stoozing card but with very little left on it
An Egg card - active as a SBT card at present
A Capital One card (just BT'd to clear the last of it, will be writing to close the account as soon as the statement arrives)

The other consideration is that in March when my Sainsburys card comes off its 0% period (and gets transferred to Egg as March is my anniversary month) I will be needing a new card for purchases, so I don't want to have exhausted all possible providers by then! By March I will no longer have my Capital One or my Halifax card (which had a very low limit so I'm not fussed about replacing it) but will not have been rid of them long enough to get new customer offers.

Any advice?

Cheers! Looks like I'll have no problems going for the HSBC card then. Unless they see my available/used credit and think I have too much.

Will try my luck.
