Called recon today, and they now state, you have opened too many accts in the last 12 months; will not open Amtrak card.
Too many? That count for me is 3 - 2 personal Alaska cards, and 1 Biz card. They do not seem to care this is a different product!
Any other experience with this?
Yep, read somewhere (Frequent Miler?) that B/A now has a Chase like policy on B/A apps of any type. Limit is 3 in 12 months. So wait until more than 12 months on one of those cards and then apply again.
