Highly doubt bofa and Alaska systems are so integrated.
Have you ever called bofa for anything AS related?
They are clueless

How did you find out about your audit? Was it the same as everyone else? What did you do beforehand? Closed cards? Sold points? Booked for others? In other words, who doesn't have to worry?

How did you find out about your audit?
If you try logging into your account and you get the following message "The Mileage Plan account has some discrepancies. Contact Customer Care for assistance at 1-800-654-5669, Monday-Friday, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:45 p.m. (PT)." That means your account is under an audit.

WOW! The worst part is if they turn it over to collections as stated in the letter.

Some people only found out when trying to book. I'm trying to see if there are different categories of audits, so people who are in his category can possibly relax a bit.

Make sure it was in your offer when you applied.
I don't think all apps have this offer.

Really interesting development. Question is whether they can enforce what they say of charging you for the flight. Nobody actually knows.
