Applied for both SPG personal and Biz (using Dans Links) Both showing as in Progress. Called and the REP kept repeating that we cannot apply for more then one card within 30 days. He is trying to manually approve my SPG personal and said I will have to wait 4-5 days for business card. He took my number and said he'll call me back?

What do you all recommend? Should I call someone else?

[Shmelly]

what does "in progress" mean for app status?

It prob means your app is on hold. Call them.

Incorrect. I did 2 apps yesterday that both showed "in progress"; I just got confirmation emails saying both were approved.

Are you sure this doesnt mean that they will be doing another pull?

Just did my first 3bm in a while.  SPG Bus and personal, and Gold.  Got SPG bus and Gold instantly.  Waiting on personal.  What are my chances if I already have one?

Update: Approved on all 3  but with 2 pulls  (oddly one for spg bus and gold and the other for spg personal)

Does anyone have experience with not getting appprove/bonus this way?

usually people apply with blank/new no. to get the bonus. it doesn't make to much sense they should honor it that way

IMBW, but if they wouldn't like him having same spg, twice then they would've just denied him approval.
once he's in, he's in. no ?

And the personal was not instant approval.  Using a different spg number might be overly cautious and an added annoyance.  But I'll let you know when I get the bonus to be sure.

Nice.

How do you know?

safe assumption.  I had one pull after the first 2 approvals and got another pull today.
