2 browsers, 2 apps back to back... Step 3 processing... called application status number, after initial contact patched through to helpful rep in MD.

Without her prompting me, told her that I had put in 2 apps, to have separate tracking for business expenses. She said she'd work on 1st one to start, came back and spoke w/me about how much credit I needed on the cards. I said I wasn't that worried about amount, she offered to open one but would need to take some credit from another card for the other. No problem, and after more time for her to call for approval and a bit of time for her to finish processing, both approved.

Thanks to everyone here for all of the tips.
