Applied for the 15k offer today after getting approval for a Surpass card and got pending for Everyday. Called and they said to wait 5 days and then call back. I think I remember there being some problem with applying for 2 revolving cards on the same day from Amex. Does anyone know if they will pull my credit again when I call back in 5 days? I only applied for card #2 today because I figured the pulls would be merged. Now that I see it's possible to get 30k points for the Everyday card I'm tempted to call and have them cancel the ED pending app. And also I don't want a 2nd pull in a few days.

To respond to some of the questions:
I think if one takes the time to read through the thread, they will learn that pulls may be combined when one applies for more than one AMEX card on the same day. I've never heard of pulls being combined when applying on different days.
The five day wait is normal and in that case you should probably see only one hard hit. That was what happened to me also.

can you apply for both personal and business [Delta] gold [credit] cards at the same time?

AMEX HHonors and Delta Gold
So I applied for both these cards in the same day, literally minutes apart.
The Hhonors (the one i really wanted) was approved immediately and the other as expected went to In progress. I know I have read plenty about there being a 5 day wait period.
Question is should I call on the second one or do I wait the 5 day and see if its approved? Five business days would be this thursday.

Next, I'm going to work on purchasing e-certs / delta gift cards for these statement credits. I did the dummy booking for the personal, so I have 100 there and 50 on the biz.

I second this. I've had this exact experience twice, and it only applies to amex credit (not charge) cards. Once when I applied for ED and SPG on same day, and just last week when I applied for the personal and business versions of the Delta Amex on the same day. In both situations, I was approved for both cards.

Status update?
Good to know I am waiting for my second app to either approve or deny lol I think my 5 business days would be this Thursday so I am trying to be patient and not cal, the good thing is that the week difference allowed me to almost compete my spend on the Hhonors card so I can have a fresh go at the Delta when it hopefuly gets approved and comes in.

Or if it takes days extra, normally in the past, CK has shown them within a day or so.
I can report back when I wait a little longer.
