The analyst asked why I wanted another card; I said it's an excellent card. The credit analyst agreed and approved me for the other card. YMMV.
I just called that number for reconsideration and was approved for the Alaska Air card. Evidently one late payment (late by only 1 day over 3 years ago!) triggered the computer to reject my online app. But the rep I spoke with realized that the rest of my file is spotless so she approved me on the spot.
