Are you thinking they'd would've loosened up? Or were you unaware of changes this year?
As of recent months,
most people get
denied for applying for a second personal card while having one open.
And what's the hurry?
In case you missed it, a few weeks ago, BofA just started a new anti-churning "2/3/4" rule on top of that:
So
on average, you'll only be able to get one of these Alaska personal cards every 6 months (even though you could I guess do a burst of them and then go hibernate).
Doing them every 6 months would give you time to do the spend, lower the credit limit, get the bonus, and cancel the first card, before applying for the next.
(Btw, had you read
the wikipost atop this thread before posting, you would have found all those answers there too.)
