I was able to get a second personal card with one open a few months back, but the first had been open for a while with multiple annual fees paid. One possibility is that BOA is OK with issuing multiple cards to people who will hold them for the companion pass and pay annual fees, but is trying to screen out people who are just maximizing signup bonuses. For those reporting success or failure on applications with previous card(s) still open, it would be helpful to know how long previous card(s) have been open.
