If I ask for an upgraded credit limit, that will be a hard pull, correct? I do not want to waste a hard pull unless I'm opening up a new card.

If I open an Alaska card at the same time I request a credit increase on Amtrak, I will only be "spending" 1 of my hard pulls, correct, not 2? I don't require any Alaska miles at this time, but if I have to spend a hard pull for the Amtrak credit line increase, I would prefer to pick some up Alaska miles, too.

How would the forum approach this? In the long run, I will be spending on the Amtrak card, but past the minimum spend, I probably would not be spending on the Alaska card. I have too many airline miles as it is right now anyway.

Your advice is appreciated. Thanks!
