Follow up to 300k miles in 3 hours

I've applied for 4 credit cards. One I was accepted instantly 3 still waiting to hear from.
Tip: apply to cards issued by banks you already use.

I'm well on my way to getting 25k in american miles. Now for the rest...

Other thing I saw- 15 minutes a day lastminutetravel is putting up all their hotels for 1 per night. The catch - you have no idea when. Monday - friday on east coast time. Who has the time to sit in front of the computer and click on a website every 15 minutes (no autofresh). I thought I did but you have no idea if the auction completed for the day or not.
Kind of disappointing.
