Figured might as well go for another Alaska, but then noticed the comment about them not approving it if you have 1 open. Her account went to pending, didn't have her call yet.
Exact same thing happened to me as well. You can now only have 1 personal Alaska and 1 business Alaska card. And it also takes 48 hours for it to show as closed to the credit analysts. I forgot to close my first one, only lowered credit limit to 200, applied for second one and instantly denied. Called in to reconsideration and immediately denied due to having the "same product open"
