I could not see anywhere on the upgrade letter for the Alaska Airlines World Elite MasterCard that the companion pass is still available and is not one of the 3 credit cards that Alaska Airlines states has the companion pass. I don't want to give up the companion flight.

I ended up writing a letter emphasing that the offer clearly said it was for first time Premier holders only, and my previous card was a Platinum. The bonus posted shortly afterward. Probably YMMV on this one, and as always, carefully read and take a screenshot of the offer T&Cs.

When they came out with the Chase (Canada) "Marriott Rewards Premier Visa" I applied for it. After no bonus posted, I called and inquired, and multiple calls (and escalations to supervisors) produced the same response - I was not entitled to the bonus because I had previously had a "Marriott Platinum Visa" (closed at the time I applied for the Premier) .

World Elite
I spoke with two separate reps for MBNA on Friday and both stated that this is a specific mailing. If you received a letter, then you were able to click on the rewards icon and a dropdown message allowed you to sigh up.
My wife didn't get the offer until we called customer service and modified our annual family income information to the required amount. They also updated my second Alaska Airlines MC to match the income requirements.
If anyone who did not receive a letter but has a high income should call MBNA customer service of the upgrade.
If you did not receive the letter but still got the 10,000 miles, please post that info.

I haven't got the card, but seems I was auto-approved for the World Elite MC directly? that's not good though, as I wouldn't get the 10K offer to upgrade to World Elite then?
@@ let's see what the card says when it arrives
I did see 25K in my MP account already

So to make sure I"m getting this, I got an offer on one card that I have not had for long, but did not get an offer on my original card, which I've since they pretty well first were offered. I've gone in and modified my income to reflect what it actually is, which is quite a bit more than when I originally applied.
Am I understanding that this should trigger an offer online or some sort of letter in the next while? Or do I still have to call in to bring it someone's attention.
Got one 10K bonus but an extra 10 would be nice.

I always thought higher # would improve chance of approval, but as with CIBC and now MBNA, they overgave me Aerogold Infinite and now MC World Elite when I don't need it
Too late to call in and lower my income & card then I guess? ha ha
I got the card today, it's a plan SILVER card - no MBNA, no Alaska logo on there, WTH..
