Same name on multiple MP accounts, that should raise a flag. While possible to have multiple credit card accounts, they are still associated to the same individual with the same billing address. I suppose it is plausible if creating additional accounts under the names of family or friends. Synergistically, however, one vat of points is vastly more efficient than having dribs & drabs here and there.

With the 150K annual limit, you cannot purchase the 40% bonused maximum 60K per transaction more than once per account per annum. You could purchase 60K, 45K and 3K (no bonus) for a total of 150K. If you are booking a JL F TPAC return you are "on the mark." A CX F TPAC return will have 10K remaining which, from a broker's perspective, are pretty much useless.
