+1 agreed. I'm going to try to get the companion pass another way, as I have $10k to spend on Amex.


how does this help

He's right that the companion pass is a good idea, but his suggestion of spending $10k, so I'll have to go with "get the equivalents in points in some other way", though I haven't figured out which other way I'll use (or what my options are even).

Nope, my Amex spend requirement drives me to find alternatives. Does 10k MR transferred count?

Hi All, I'm about to do a 3BM for the southwest, continental one pass and ink bold business.

First question, would the 3BM work when applying for personal and business at once ( as is my case)?
2nd question, what's the difference between southwest premier ($99 annually) and regular southwest ($69 annually), they both have the 50k bonus and the premier has a 6k yearly anniversary bonus.
Is the only difference the annual fee?

Would appreciate a timely respond so I can still hop on the SW wagon.

TIA!

Hi Dan and Everyone,

I have applied for the following 3 cads using the 3BM:
Southwest Rapid Rewards
Continental One Pass Plus
Ink Bold Business

I have got the DECISION PENDING on ALL 3 of the... :'( :'( :'(

What are the chances of getting approved fir all 3?? (If an analyst looks into the apps they see immediately that I applied for 3 of them... which is definitely not gonna help...)

Should I wait for a decision or should I start with the Lending Department right now?

I’m soooo frustrated... Please help me have a calm Shabbat...

Thanks and Git Shabbas!

i find that personally this means a denial letter with a chance for recon. which for me has never failed
 (except once when it was past30 days which other times has worked)

Thanks Moko,
Were u in a similar situation where u applied for 3 cards at once (3BM) and got them all approved via recon?

If so, when is best to call them? Is it now or after the denial letters begin floating my mailbox???
Thanks!

yea
its best to wait until u have a denial letter with a reference # and deal with each card separately
otherwise u have to use ur SS# and they see all 3 apps which some reps dont like

You can get your appID from the browser source, or a rep from the new accounts department (not a reconsideration analyst) will be happy to give you your appIDs when you provide your SSN. Then hang up and call recon separately for each appID.

IME, that leads to more than one pull.

Easy in IE and FF, tricky in Chrome to find though.
Personally I just wait for the ref numbers on the letters, but there's not really a reason for that.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

YMMV
but IME recon. dep. doesn't usually do another pull unless u ask them to
for instance if there was a negative item (eg: collection) and u got it removed u can ask them to check again

In chrome you just have to know where to look and/or what to look for.

IMHO it's best to call recon sooner rather than later in case you need to get your app escalated and you want to have a chance to do that before the 30 days are up (happened to me for one card in my last 3bm).

3BM is not designed how you used it. Its for three different cards from the same issuer.

I'm assuming you didn't get automatically approved, correct?

Personally, I don't think you're going to get more than one (if that many). Stranger things have happened though.

Correct. i got two letters that two apps were rejected as duplicates, and i called up and was told that one was approved. :s

any chance of getting recon to approve a second of the same card - perhaps to split the credit line of the first one, or is it a hopeless case? (logically it should be, but hey....... this forums here for a reason ;) )

I'd really like some more free SW miles

Do u happen to have the number of the new account department?
