I haven't received any notification yet about my account, but it seems BoA has sold/transferred the Canadian version of the card to MBNA. (maybe as of Aug. 1st?) The link on Alaska's website now for Canadian card applications directs to an application with MBNA/TD. The card seems to be available now in both World Elite (high income req.) and Platinum. All the benefits look the same (miles, fees etc.) For fun, tried to register for online access but to no success. This might be good news for anyone (like me!) who have been yearning for online access again. Hopefully it comes soon.

Not sure what this means though for present cardholders. Has anyone received any word from BoA/MBNA about their accounts? Is it likely to be transferred to MBNA, grandfathered with BoA for present cardholders?
