I was expecting to get the 5k (on each card) miles with next statement date, which was 4/10. Nothing has shown up in my AS account. So I logged into BofA to look at the statements to see if they had "reported" the miles to Alaska, but no statement had been generated (since these cards have been sock-drawered for months). Do I need to put a small charge on each of them in order to generate a statement and get the retention 5k miles to post?
