Our Verdict
We posted about a targeted 30,000 offer yesterday, this is now publicly available. There is another offer for 25,000 miles and a $100 statement credit that is much better unless you value Alaska miles at over 2¢, this link was originally found by doing a dummy booking. I was hoping this would increase to 30,000 miles as well, but unfortunately it hasn’t. Before applying for this card or asking questions in the comments, I’d recommend you read about these 20 things everybody should know about Bank of America credit cards.
One of the main benefits of Bank of America is that you can apply for multiple cards from them in the same day and they will be merged into a single inquiry. You might want to pair this offer with the $200 cash offer on their Cash Rewards card. I’d be careful applying for multiple Alaska cards as some people have had their points forfeit and accounts shut down, although some of these shut downs seem to be more a result of annual fee shenanigans.
Hat tip to Dieuwer on Flyertalk
How about applying for 25k card and asking them to match 30k after using $100 statement credit?
Is it worthwhile to request the extra 5000 points by spending $1000. I received this card paying only the annual fee.
If you didn’t got the $100 offer then this one is worth jumping on to…
Thanks
Always worth a try.
