Hmmm... Applied for 4 of the personal card today, the first two were auto-approved and then the second two went pending. I just called in (Spanish recon) and the CSR I spoke to told me that she can approve the second two but that they will only provide the "benefits" (presumably she meant the sign-up bonus) for two of the cards, and she said that this is an Alaska Airlines policy. I have no idea if she is correct about this or not, but figured I would post it here in case anyone else has heard this and/or in case this is a new policy. I told her to go ahead and approve them (if she's right then there's not much of a downside since the pulls get combined anyway, and if she's wrong I assume what she said will have no bearing on what I actually receive). I will post again once I see how many miles I receive. If someone else has heard something similar, please post too. Thanks.
