Received snail mail today saying the exception was denied. Online app status still says in progress, but I assume it will change to no go soon.

My questions:
Does anyone know what the policy is that they had been considering giving me an exception to? My guess is a certain number of days between applications, but I'm not sure.

If I wait a bit and apply again, assuming the card is still around, will I have the same issue?

I want to open this card too but wanted to wait at least 3 months since I applied and got the BCP in Dec 2013. I talked to a rep the other day about something else and I asked if I could have multiple Blue Cash products and if so how long should I wait. She said there is no limit and that I could apply at any time.
