Opened and closed this card a few times since the summer. No issues.
Impressive :) How did your approvals go, recon? How did you explain it?

Did they pull your credit?
They told me they'll have to pull my credit in order to do a product change so I just closed my cards.

I asked and they said they weren't going to.
Haven't checked yet. Went pretty quickly.

Found this referral page - https://www.applyonlinenow.com/MGMapp/ReferralPage?cid=2111321&mboxSession=1414498112567-272988
Perhaps if you refer your spouse, you can get an extra 2500 miles per approved card.

I applied for 3 on Aug 5. (3BM). My first bonus posted 8/13, second 8/22, and third on 8/28.
BTW you have 60 days to cancel and get the AF back.

My experience with BofA recon was a pleasure. Each time I reapplied, I said that this card had different benefits than the others and asked to move the credit lines over. Literally two minute calls. They were always happy to accommodate.

So to make sure I get it correct. Every time before you reapplied you converted the old card to one of the no AF cards (rather than close it)

Something like that?
I have a theory that if you downgrade it to a no AF card they won't see the USAir card when you reapply. If you close it, it stays on your profile and will likely be seen by the computers as a duplicate and you'll need to call recon.

Just want to prepare for my entry into this game.

If you want to apply for more than 1, do you have to do them instantaneously or can you do one and do another one later in the day? My thoughts are that it'll be easier to go app by app in recon than it will be to call up and have to explain why I applied for 3 cards.

as long that you are apply the same day its one pull though the main reason of a2/3/4BM is to increase your chance of instant approvals without the need of recon

Right, just I don't think I've ever even got 2 instant approvals on a XBM, which is why I want to do the other option. Ok thanks.
