Very sorry if these is already a thread for this, looked through the old SW 50k signups.
I have applied for multiple southwest cards in the past as a consumer and was granted them. After looking at the DD website I noticed that there was a clause that you can only have one branded southwest consumer card at a time.
Unfortunately I did not realize and did a three application for 2 southwest cards and a the Marriott. I was denied all three applications.
Good News: was able to call the reconsideration line and got a southwest card pushed through. They actually told me that I can’t have 2 branded cards that are similar (ie 2 SW) and that I could potentially have the Marriott card reconsidered. I took a chance and told them I didn’t want that and if they could try to reconsider the other southwest card. It was definitely my lucky day and they approved 2 SW cards for me.
I was curious if anyone had a similar experience? I keep reading about the rule and was hoping it wasn’t a steadfast one because I wanted to do the same thing for my wife.
Thanks in advance!
