CC applications spread them out or all at once

daniel86_2

So I'm wanting to apply for a few credit cards 3 or 4 and a bank account, with the intention of earning interest on savings through cheap money and balence transfers.

In other people's experience is it best to apply for them all at the same time or spread them out over a certain time frame to increase chances of being accepted

noh

In the past I have done multiple applications all at once. Last time was in January this year for around 8 credit cards.

It has worked for me but it does mean that I am not able to successfully apply for any more credit for some time.

Only do it if you will have no serious need for credit in the next year or two.

I only apply for credit cards when I need them, so mine are spread.
