Rejected - Should I apply for another card now?

** msg to forum guide - I need to get this post deleted, I accidently posted this on the wrong forum***

Another 0% deal is about to run out again so time to get a new card. Applied for the Post Office card (Bank of Irelend) and they rejected me!

My question is to the seasoned stoozers here, should I apply again for an alternative now?

Heres my current situation:

Stooze cards: Lloyds credit limit: £5000
Co-op credit limit: £5000
M&S credit limit: £4000
Mint credit limit: £650 (for SBTs into stooze pot)

M&S is about to run out so I was after the Post Office card for this. Plus the Co-Op runs out in May so I will need to apply again for another for this one!

I also hold cards for general spending, they are:

Nationwide cashback, limit £3900
AMEX Blue cashback, limit £1500

If they could see my bank statements they would see I have few outgoings, a decent salary and I have plenty saved so I don't understand it.

I know that lots of applications too close to each other can hinder things so should I wait until next month to apply again for the Co-op BT, or just try again? I am running out of providers too.

    Try MNBA/Virgin or A&L.
    They all give reasonable CL and also extentions to the 0% period unfortunately you will incur a BT fee.
