Is it legal?

If as a newbie, I make say 4 applicartions for CC's. Each time I submit that I have no CC's and as a result get accepted but with a poor CL. Then go on to accept all those CC's and accumulate and reasonable amount of credit to stooze.
Is it legal to now hold all those CC's when at application 2 you had an award but had not activated card 1 and at application 3 you had 2 CC's accepted but not activated etc. If you see what I mean.
The total credit is £14K and won't generate that much profit but I want to be legal. I haven't told any lies as they were applications and not cards but do the CC companies see it that way. Any ideas please.
