if you apply for more than one BOA Alaska card in few months, you risk  your miles taken away and  alaska mileage account shut down by ALASKA airlines.

They are also shutting down alaska account for SPG points transfers. Because they don't like people booking awards with points transferred from their SPG account!
 
 Alaska plays the trick by saying we need to verify your account and please  email us your ID once you send your ID and everything matches, they will reply you with your account shut down notice because per the mileage terms & conditions,  the points are NOT YOURS, it is their property and it is their wish to cancel account for  no reason or any reason at any time. You will mostly likely not even know or realize pending shut down until you contact ALASKA to book awards.
They won't tell you you violated any terms, rules or  anything because you didn't, they will simply tell you, the points are theirs and therefore it is up to them to terminate an account for any reason.

This is worse than Chase shut downs cos ALASKA is taking away our points  just becos they don't like them and not because you violated their rules such as selling points or booking tickets for others.

If this happens to you, talk to them and have your account and points restored. If it fails, file CFPB complaint.

Don't do multiple apps!

Right, just like one of the post few days ago, where Chase denied his UME app and United shut down his account cos he got bonus before.

 You only have one  DOB and SS #, So   it is very easy for them.

Unrelated to Alaskan shutting accounts, but the number of a certain BofA recon line that always approved apps without a question, is also not working anymore.

Guys, if this is indeed the end of the Alaskan gravy train (which I hope not because I have a few pending aps myself right now) let's not be indignant about it. Let's be grateful for what it was.

I think it is overrated. Just because they closed one guys account does not mean that the game has come to an end. Yes, for SPG transfers they DO close accounts, they do close accounts when they suspect that a sale was involved. But I don't think that this is like flying blue where they started closing account for no reason. Applying for a lot of CCs is not a reason for Alaska to close the account. I would not be surprised that the OP on FT is hidding something.

You can say what you think when you think what you say.
