Both Barclay’s (Hawaiian cards) and BOA (Alaska cards) now have relatively strict “anti-churning” policies. I know, I learned the hard way .

BOA/Alaska: 17 cards past 9 years, including 2 each in 2021 and 2022 and 2023 and non-negotiable declines in April 2024 and June 2024. Was told during 2024 unsuccessful recon calls that BOA had changed from 2/3/4 (2 cards in 2 months and 3 cards in 12 months and 4 cards in 24 months) to max 2 Alaska (?biz/pers) cards in 24 months from approval.

Barclays (Bank of Hawaii)/Hawaiian: 7 cards in past 8.5 years. Was told during June 2023 unsuccessful recon call of non-negotiable 24 months between account closure and approval.

Any DP(s) and/or opinions or predictions regarding easing or termination of these restrictions in view of the acquisition and expected changes to credit card offerings?

Thank you.
