Re: Anyone intentionally app'ed for the same card twice and got approved for both?

Yes.  The Venture Card.  I app'd for one 30 days ago & got a 20k SL.  Then just did it again & got the exact same card with the same SL.  Can be done.  I will say I did check their site for a pre-approval before I app'd for the second.  And I didn't realize they were exactly 30 days apart!

There are a bunch....bunch of forum members with 2 of the same cards 

Double rewards intentionally app'ed for 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

I have two Quicksilver Ones. One was a product change from a platinum card.

I have two of the same card but on different networks, they're in my sig. I'll be going for more BBR card(s) later this year.

I've applied for multiple Alaska cards, Executive AAdvantage cards and waiting the outcome of a second United Explorer card (not holding my breath though). I've tried for multiple Venture and Arrival and was turned down.

Keep trying, they will eventually give it to you.  Smiley Wink  Arrival will be second after Sapphire for me.

In 2013:
I applied for the Cap1 Platinum(annual fee $39)---Instant approval 500 limit
A month later, I applied for the Platinum(annual fee $19)---Instant approval 500 limit.

Cards were upgraded to Quicksilver and Quicksilver One respectively. I got rid of Quicksilver One in 2015. Couple months later, applied for 2nd Quicksilver. Instant approval. 3,000 limit.

In 2013:
I applied for the Discover IT---Instant approval. 2,000 limit

In 2015:
I applied for 2nd Discover IT---Told to call in. Approved 3,000.

 

My 2 Double Cash are upgrades(formerly Dividend & Thank You Preferred gotten in 2013 and 2014. respectively).

 

I will be going for a 2nd Sallie Mae in the future.

My question (since my second QS1 is on its way) is how do you tell them apart? Do you just remember the numbers on the card or put a sticker on it or do you only carry one of them? I think ky second QS1 might stay in the safe so I don't get them confused.

Whenever you get two of the same products, and there's no option to change the design(or you simply don't want to) put your middle initial on the second application.

Sallie Mae = card 1
Sallie B. Mae = card 2

I have 2 Quicksilver MC's. 1 was a platinum card (formerly Orchard Bank) upgrade, the other was a QS1 upgrade. I don't carry them with me, but they are marked by the last 4 on my very detailed budget spreadsheet. They also have 2 different CL's so that's another distinguishing factor. I really hope that Capital One will combine limits at some point soon.  I'm not a fan of 2 of the same card.
