Applying for BoA Cards

I have been searching through this forum for a master thread on BoA, but could not find one.

Basically, in a couple of weeks I would like to apply for the Fidelity Amex and the AS 25k with $100 cash back offers. I have an old BoA cash rewards card from 1998 that has quarterly 5% promos like the Freedom card and pays 1% on everything else. Their categories are usually different than Discover or Freedom, so I would like to keep the cash card for the 5%.

Reading other threads on this forum, I found a couple of posts over a year old that talk about not being able to get 2 BoA cards on the same day. Another poster said that when he applied for the Schwab card, BoA closed his cash rewards card without his permission because he was not allowed to have two FIA accounts.

So what is the current situation with BoA? Are people getting approved for 2 cards on one day? If so, are the pulls merged? Are there any more reports on BoA closing credit card accounts to open an FIA account?

Thanks in advance for any help!
