So, I just applied and got a pending message,
I called recon and they said it was declined due to too many inquiries! (I don't deny)
So I asked them to reconsider, and bingo approved for 5k!

My question is: should I try for more?
And should I try for the business version?
If yes is it considered the same pull?
Thanks.

Either way why are they not sending any emails?

Also, if you get 25k upon approval so I can already transfer the 5k CL to my pending app, thoughts?

-1 Did all of my cards at once, if you want to combine CL it will be another pull so there is no point for that.

Is that BOFA specific?

Don't know about other banks, but I know that's what I was told by BOFA

I know that Citi is that way when it comes to merging CL. That's why if you ever have to call recon on a new card, it's actually a good thing because that is the only time they will merge CLs for you.

Are people here getting the $100 credit automatically? I called and they said I must wait 8-12 weeks and they refused to add it manually.... Also how much time do I have with BOFA to cancel/downgrade and get the AF back? At this point if I wait it out and end up paying the AF my net gain is only $25.

Called 4 times and chatted once so far.

No luck downgrading this card to better balance rewards...

Any success story recently?

Biz or personal? You can only downgrade personal card, And it's called Travel rewards. So just close it if they don't want to.

So I did the double app and recon and got 2 cards and 50k. Can I go ahead now and do a double business app for another 50k ? Should I wait another month?

Personal.  To better balance rewards card.

Better balance rewards card is an easy $120 / yr card ($25 quarterly + $5 for having BoA checking acct). 

I can downgrade to every card but BBR card for some reasons...
