With 1st Aviator still active, applied 9/15/17 with same info (email, mother's maiden, income, employed professional, etc.) Could someone test a DP with same name/SSN but different email/ mother's maiden security Q? Always fun to test the system...

Result was 10 day pending message. Immediately checked app status site to see June approval still on file. Perhaps closing card first may have helped? Instant denial for 2nd app.

"Currently we are unable to offer you a credit card issued by Barclays Bank Delaware. Details on why we could not make you a credit offer will be mailed to you."

Will update with reason for denial. Hoping this immediate denial means no HP!
