I did this also and got instant approval for the US card and the pending for Arrival. Tried calling and they used the US card as an excuse, said I couldn't get 2 cards on the same day. they also mentioned inquiries of wqhich I had only 2 in the past 6 months at the time. Applied for the Arrival only 6+ months later and got instant approval. It was the 1st card I did too.
