However, applying for multiple cards within the same day may have benefit. I cannot confirm but in the US if you apply for multiple Amex cards within the same day it will produce only 1 HP, so there is one purpose of doing applications in the same day. The same works with BofA for the Alaska Airlines card. Perhaps MBNA would act the same way. Credit card companies are more aware than you may have thought.
