When I phoned in to cancel my 1st card (1 year ago), a letter was sent to me stating the account was closed. It still shows up on my online account though along with my 2nd card. And if you look in the security section, it says that old accounts can be accessed online for up to 7 years after closing, to retrieve statements. Although I am quite sure that I read somewhere else on their website that you can only get statements for previous 13 months.
I don't know about your second question.
I don't know about your second question.
However,when I phone and use the automated phone service...I do get a message to confirm that the account I entered is closed.

Call back again at least twice to confirm. There's always rogue agents who have said similar things in the past.

Datapoint: waited patiently for 3 months before applying for another Alaska card and got denied. Called in and they also said "you are allow to have only 1 Alaska Airline Card per person". Should I close down my existing two cards then? haha

In our recent cases, MBNA simply CANCELLED our older AS cards without warning, when we applied for a new AS card, and then approved my card when I called to ask why I didn't get my new card yet. But for my wife, after they cancelled her older AS card, she had call in and ask them to shift limits from another of her existing MBNA cards to birth the new AS card. This was in Jan and Mar, respectively.

Aw geez, this is not good. I recently successfully applied for 2 AS cards, separated by a couple of months. My wife has one and needs #2 to match me, but I'm starting to wonder if it's going to work.
