App-o-Rama describes the practice of applying for multiple credit cards during a concentrated period to maximize approval odds and minimize the impact of credit inquiries.

The strategy became a cornerstone of the early points-and-miles hobby and helped shape the modern era of sign-up bonus optimization before issuers introduced stricter application rules.
