Did you use a Canadian MC for the 6 digits on the index cards? I was going to do it, but was afraid it wouldn't work without a card from a US institution.

I have read reports (again) that MBNA is tightening up Alaska approvals due to people doing stupid things like applying for 3 cards in a week. Perhaps the way to go forwards is to keep at most 2 open, cancelling before reapplying? Marathon not a race after all...

I know you're heavily Amex-centric. MBNA normally pulls Transunion, same with Amex (and RBC)...maybe they saw too many pulls on TU?

I had 17 or 18 card apps total last year, but only 4 were MBNA, no issues. They did shutdown my older Alaska card without my consent, before approving my Jan application.

I only had 2 MBNA apps last year. I will wait a few months and try again.

Westjet dollars go into your account, so yes you can combine them.
