Anyway, I called in, explained my situation (applied for many new cards since I got a new job that will require more travel and want to get cards to get benefits for all my travel partners), and was approved for $5k for one card. When I mentioned the second card, she said sure, no problem, and split the CL among the 2 cards.

FWIW, I have a banking relationship with BoA, but less than $20,000 is in my account.
You may have just shot yourself in the foot. There are 3 versions of this card https://www.applyonlinenow.com/USCCa...ry?sc=VAB6CK#b but only the Signature card awards 25K miles, IIRC. The Signature Visa usually has a minimum CL of $5K. Check the cards carefully before you charge anything on them. YMMV of course.
