6-Month Wait for New Credit Card: Any Solutions?

I applied for the Visa Platinum credit card, which is LTF, and found it attractive. However, when I applied for the HSBC Live+ Card, I was told there is a 6-month wait before applying for another card. Is there any way to reduce this timeframe, or will not activating the Platinum card help in minimizing the wait?

@anaghanair No, you’ll need to wait for 6 months.
