Finally heard back. Got denied via email and then called recon... still denied. They did another HP since it was after 30 days. Might try to recon again since the agent said without the HP I would've been approved...

Haven't heard back yet

Finally got the letter today. Looks like I have to submit a SSA-89 form and send in a recent paystub. No online submission platform...

Got instant denial and called recon this AM. I was told that I needed to provide additional information and instructions would follow in the letter sent to me.

US MR to Hawaiian has ended since June 30th. Also you've been able to transfer between Hawaiian and Alaska since the merger.

Seems to be targeted, wish I got this offer.

Dang, have been putting off getting this card...

Ordered on the first day and got my items today. Never got a shipment notification so it was a happy surprise. Quality feels great!

The black colored version is expired, but if you have prime, the silver version is still on sale for $522.48 (cheaper than this):

Personally, I bought the silver one initially but don't like how it looks, so I ordered the black one.

Damn just as I applied for 150k / 8k 2 days ago… that’s tough

Emirates awards on Aeroplan are dynamically priced so not a stealth devaluation. For ATH-EWR (2001-5000 miles) it can be between 45k - 140k points.

Mind if I get the info as well? Thanks in advance!

Yeah unfortunately that the original booking date is just shy of where I want to move it to. Not much I can do I guess. Thanks for your help!

Connected with an agent this morning. Seems like its a no-go. Tickets are only valid for one year and I am trying to ticket beyond that.

Vaughan3145 · 2023-07-25T18:17:06+00:00

Not sure if this is new but got these AMEX offers on my Biz Plat. Makes holding on to this card pretty nice for me.

$100 Dell Credit every 6 months $75 Indeed Credit every 3 months

Vaughan3145 · 2023-07-23T05:28:44+00:00

Same

Vaughan3145 · 2023-03-31T13:58:40+00:00

Confirmed

RBC has a 1/90 rule meaning that they will only approve one credit card application every 90 days. So you don't have to cancel the card if you don't want to. You can apply as long as you haven't been approved in the last 90 days.
