Ineligibility for promo under W.E. Mastercard

Hi everyone,

Today I found out that because I have an RBC Visa, I am ineligible for any promotional offers on any other RBC Mastercard's or Visa's. New cardholder to them means not just the Westjet one, but any RBC Credit Card product. So I am losing out on all my welcome bonuses for the World Elite card I just received. I already spent $2,500 trying to meet the 3 month intro target.

Normally I read the T&A to catch this sort of thing, but I was signing up the night of the promo ending and decided to go through with it thinking others had stated they had no issue doubling up, so I didn't need to be diligent here. My mistake.

Am I really out of luck here?? Did I just sign up at the worst time possible? I don't even use the Visa and it has been sitting unused for 7 months now. I was debating cancelling it anyways. This really stings if this truly is a "too bad so sad" situation.

Anyone have experience with this?
