Conclusion
This is one of the best offers we have seen for the Alaska Airlines card, now the Atmos Rewards Ascent card.
You need to spend $4,500 in the first 120 days to earn 85,000 Atmos Rewards points and a $99 Companion Fare.
There’s a Promotional Code field in the application, but you can leave it blank. However, you can also support a flight attendant by using their code (if you have or can find one) as this is a link that is shared in-flight.
I have had the card in the past along with the business version. I’ve only opened two consumer accounts in the last 12 months but I figured I would play it safe and have myself added to my wife’s BofA checking account. I just got the denial letter for the checking account based on my Experian credit report (WTF!). “Yes”, it is the lowest of the three bureaus for me, but I figured a FICO 8 of 797 would allow me to open a checking account. I even unfroze it at the branch so they could process the application. I got my wife’s account to churn through and get the sign up bonus and it was done with my paycheck being sent to that account. I would dispute the negative information in my credit report, except there isn’t any. Any suggestions or just deal with other banks for while and try again?
Found the root cause. They ran me with my Experian account frozen and then re-ran me after I unfroze it. This generated the decline but then was followed by an approval. I checked and I have full access with my credentials. Excuse me, but I have some points to steal from a bank.
I was just approved for the card last week at 70,000. Any chance to get this matched? And if so, I=how would i go about doing that?
Thanks
BOA does not usually match offers. Always worth a try – call the number on the back of your card and ask to be matched.
