This offer no longer exists, its back at 50k miles

“3/12 or 7/12 Rule: You won’t be approved if you have opened 3 or more accounts, with any bank, in the past 12 months.”

Is this apply to both personal and business card? I opened several Chase cards last 12 months.

Greg The Frequent Miler

Yes it applies to business cards as well.

Ckitsap

Isn’t the BofA Alaska Biz card at 70K? I think it’s been this way for at least a week or two.

Greg The Frequent Miler

The consumer card is at 72K, but I’m not aware of a 70K link for the business card. If you can share it, that would be awesome.

Richard Mehren

Hi Greg. Sorry, spell, correct :-).

Richard Mehren

Hi Gray. If I apply under my business does it appear on my personal credit report? I have some other airline business cards and they don’t. Thanks.

Greg The Frequent Miler

No it won’t.

Richard Mehren

Excellent, thank you Greg!

[…] you made purchases with an airline credit card, like the Bank of America Alaska Airlines Business Credit Card, you won’t be able to see your rewards on the Bank of America website, you will need to check […]

Frank

Regarding the 70K business card:

I am within the 24 months since I last had this card and so would not be able to apply for a while, however I see the language on the application states:

I also understand that I may be declined for additional credit card accounts if my business entity currently has, or has had, another business card with Bank of America in the preceding 24 month period.

I think this would allow me to get a card for a different business entity that has never had a BofA account. What do you think?

Greg The Frequent Miler

Yes that’s probably true, but I also think you have a good chance of getting approved even if you apply with the same business entity despite those terms.

Frank

So, if I apply, and the application is accepted, am I guaranteed to get the bonus?

Greg The Frequent Miler

I would never say “guaranteed” about anything, but I don’t think I’ve heard of people getting approved for BOA cards and not qualifying for the welcome bonus

Frank

Yes, of course, but your answer sounds fine for me. Thanks, Greg. I am almost back to under 5/24 and so need to plot my next strategy.

Frank

Thanks for the encouragement, Greg. I finally decided to make the plunge and applied for the same business card as I already have and was approved immediately, despite having 6 other cards with this bank, none of which I use much. I am a Premium client or whatever it’s called with various personal and IRA investment accounts so that may be the reason. I will let you know if and when the bonus posts.

tassojunior

i got 5 biz cards same SSN in 5 months and in spite of the 24 month language, I got the SUB on all open 5. Haven’t heard of anyone not being approved or not getting bonus for 24-month rule.

Doctor of Credit has a better offer for $200 on top of the 40,000 miles. I am not posting the link here because spam filters sometimes auto delete comments with a link

Greg The Frequent Miler

Thanks! Working on updating the offer now…

DP: Instant approval for Business version. Last time I had this card was from July 2019 to Aug 2020. I have a BofA checking account so I’m sure that helps.

Jeff

BoA Business recon permanently closed? Their direct line has been “closed” in the middle of the day for weeks.

Jon

Does the 3/12 (7/12) limit refer to only new personal accounts in the last 12 mo, or personal+biz cards?

Jon

And just saw Nick’s answer in response to this comment on a different post, thanks! So this limit only counts your personal cards in the last 12 months.

Small point: You say 40 miles + Companion Ticket for the Alaska Business card, should be 40K.

[…] discount code each year. Qualifying cards: Alaska Airlines Visa Signature consumer card (US), the Alaska Airlines Visa Business card (US), as well as the World Elite and Platinum Plus MasterCard […]

William

I want this card but everyone says BOA always asks for extra info on your business so not worth the hard pull in my opinion.
