BOFA Alaska Airlines Visa Master Thread

[SOS]

I was planning on applying for a few of these next week, I guess I better hurry up before it disappears entirely

[chulent613]

The link from creditcards.com still works, but no $100. Anyone know if I can put my Alaska number on my wife's application or it has to be hers?

"According to a BofA exec within their card services group, the link was pulled after seeing too many apps through the link(s) not directly coming from the Alaska Airlines web site.
The promotion was/is directed to those who actually made a reservation for travel on Alaska. Once you completed your paid reservation and received a confirmation/record locator, then you would see the promotion giving you the opportunity to apply for the Visa Signature card – with the 25, 000 mile sign-up bonus and $100 statement credit."

nu, and the 50k bonus the winter before last was supposedly only if you resided in Washington state.

He also says there's a work-around. Is that true ?

Anyone want to make an Alaska Air booking on their website to see if they can pull up a new $100 link?

Do they not have 24 hour cancellation policy? Would using a citi virtual card work on a res?

And 1 BMers aren't included in "apps through link(s) not directly coming from the Alaska Airlines we site"?

"after seeing too many apps through the link(s) not directly coming from the Alaska Airlines web site."

10k people applied with 1 BM vs 10k people applied with 4 BM, that's $3M difference in statement credits...then you have people cancelling within 60 days to get AF back... Not blaming anyone, I'd do it too. Just saying.

Agent on the phone offered to waive first year fee for me, no problem.

[PTU]

Got fee waived on two cards via chat

On how many cards?

[avremie]

I got letters about statement credits for all three cards I recently opened its a shame I just closed them

I got those letters too, and was happy i left them open. (Sorry to rub it in.)
I think the people who were claiming that they weren't getting statement credits on all cards were simply not waiting long enough.

Same here, I only left one open and got the statement credit.

[MilesNpoints]

Are you asking for the credits before or after the miles have posted to the cards (it looks like some of you closed the accounts prior to the $ credits, which I will assume in those cases, you already received the miles.)  Not sure if asked for a credit before the miles post is okay or not...

[peace123]

my statement hasn't closed yet but already got the $100 credit and  also got $75 fee credit.

If I close it, will they still refund me the fee? Or they won't refund me the  fee because they will say someone already gave me fee credit?

I have two cards, i will close one so if I can get fee refund after closing, that will be  $75 bonus to me

If it's within 60 days, you'll get the af refunded.

even after getting the manual fee credit?
