I'm also no expert, but I think the main issue is how much credit you are seeking. Let's say you apply to Visa for a $5000 card. If they see that you've also submitted 10 other applications this month, they may be worried that you now have $50K in un-secured debt.

Moral of the story is if you want a bunch of Flames blankets, go out and buy them.
