First number is closed today for holiday, any other number to try? Seems other ones are crossed off.

I got instant approval on 1 AS but denied on the second, HUCA'd 3 times and nothing
BOA is tough to recon. Most reps will just go with what the system decided. IMHO unless you had a typo on the application that caused the rejection, or your app was marked as duplicate (non AS only), there isn't much you can do.

Why do all my applications show review status when I look online, even though one is active in my online banking, and the other I already received the declination letter in the mail?

If my Alaska consumer card isn't approved, should I just sign up for another on the same day and hope somehow that goes through? Or is there no point. Tried for 2, Amtrak was denied instantly, and Alaska was denied by the rep due to inquiries. However, then I tried for the BOA Merrill Lynch card, and that was approved, maybe because it's a different department. Not sure if I should just keep going for any others since its still all one inquiry.

You were declined for Amtrak, declined for Alaska, and then got an instant approval for the Merrill card?

I applied for NEA, MTA, and Alaska. Approved for NEA, but not the others. I tried recon, and asked to move over credit. They were very nice, but said they can't do it. Any suggestions? Thanks.


BTW, NEA/MTA has a nice bonus now. I wonder why there's nothing about it on DDMS (or even DDF, unless I missed it).
NEA? MTA?

Because a $100 SUB is not a nice bonus.

What about business apps that got denied, any chance with recon?

applied for AS and two amtrak cards, was in review but have now disappeared from the site to check status.  They were all cancelled? Any chance they are still in review?

Looks like BofA is having a problem with its app status system. Shows none for me, either.

There's an app status line, but it only works during business hours.

Unless perhaps multiple apps were cancelled
