Thanks for the reminder to post that info!
Lender: Bank of America
Cards: Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines (2 personal cards)
Approved: Called application status line several hours after applying and confirmed approval for both over the phone
Inquiries: 1
Date: Nov 2011
I also applied for the Bank of Hawaii / Hawaiian Airlines card at the same time. The application process for this card is handled by the same group that handles the Bank of America cards. So, I was able to confirm three card approvals on one phone call. The BoH application shows up as a separate inquiry on my credit report.
The agent asked a couple questions about why I would apply for two cards at the same time. I simply explained that I was planning a family trip to Hawaii and wanted to maximize my miles earning potential (Alaska has good availability to Hawaii from the west coast).
