And, for those of us so naive (I feel like such a noob) as not to be aware of it before applying, can I appeal to them later (like we do with Chase via SM) to get this offer?

wow just got inspired, did my first ever risky cc app.. did a 4bm for the alaska personal 25k offer, all for the same cc. 1 approved for $1200 (i know, a joke), other 3 are being reviewed.

what can i expect? what's best way to get all approved?

they said my experian score was 731. which is good considering i've been hammering it a bit last few weeks

To get the 25k, you need at least 5k on a card.

I called recon last week after I applied for two cards and the guy only saw one app, he said that he did a search if there is any more apps, cause most people who apply for this card get at least two and he was surprised he only saw one :)

I applied for 3 cards and got approved for all 3. With a total of 18k credit. Then I applied for a 4th card and they didn't want to extend any more credit to me. So after my bonus posted on the first 3 I transfered 5k credit from an account which had 8k limit to open the fourth card. Now I c online that the fourth card actually has 5k credit but is called a platinum plus account and I only got 5k bonus for that.  If it has a 5k credit line it should be a signature card which should be eligible for 25k.

Any1 have any experience with this ? I saw up thread this method worked out for some people. Any1 had difficulty ? Will they be able to change it into a signature card and get 25k automatically or I'm gonna have to fight for it ?
BUYP anyone have experience with this?

Is there still a link with no minimum spend (without the $100 credit either)?

ETA: Never mind, found it on Alaska Air's site.

Disclaimer: only read 5 pages upthread (on tapatalk) but I have heard of this before (I recall someone telling this to me when I was a real noob under strict confidence that it doesnt make it to ddf...)

How many have ppl been applying for with (relativly) no problem 3 or 4? And is this as a 3bm?

most went for 3-4 and you can do it one at a time, makes no difference

ok, so maybe i am being reckless, but after applying for 4 personal cards via 4BM, i just did another 4BM for 4 biz cards. all 4 biz cards showed "Thank you for applying! Your application has been referred to an analyst for review."  1 personal card approved last night, 3 under review.
although i am not so optimistic...

My accountant told me that you don't have to pay taxes on points earned, it's classified as a rebate on purchases

yes that is/was IRS RULE does not mean they would not send a 1099  and you work it out
