As long as the higher class award space is available and you have enough points, you can rebook your tickets into that higher class, right? For example I'm booking two AS miles tickets on CX in J to SIN, and with the points from the card I will have enough to try and book it into F as long as spade opens up.

About 2 weeks about MBNA called me and said I am ineligible for the elite card (that i had for 6 months and been paying in full on time)
He asked my household income and I confirmed 120k, and he said, Oh sorry for the call, you are eligible, bye.

I had the same thing happen to me, with the same details and result. The initial call was so strange and unprofessional (a random phone call to my office number asking for income information) that I refused to answer and called MBNA later to confirm.

When and How Do you Get Your 25,000 Point Bonus?
I applied for an Alaska Air MC a couple of months back, and have already paid my first statement and annual fee. Does anyone know:
1. When do you get your 25,000 point bonus?
2. If you didn't have a AS Mileage Plan account prior to your application for the card, will they create one for you? If so, how do you find out your number?

They will generate an AS number for you if you didn't supply it at application stage. Take a look at your MBNA AA statement, last page or so...it will show you the 25,000 points as well as the AS number that it has been posted to. Otherwise, call MBNA and they can tell you the Alaska Air number attached to the card.

A rather poor travel insurance card if that is what you are looking for.
The World Elite version of the card offers:
- Price protection insurance (basically a "lowest price" guarantee for personal goods bought using the Card)
- Travel & Lifestyle Concierge Services (not insurance)
I believe the World Elite and Platinum Level both offer:
- CDW rental vehicle insurance,
- Rental vehicle accidental death and dismemberment insurance,
- Rental vehicle personal effects insurance,
- Common carrier trip accidental death and dismemberment insurance,
- Common carrier trip unexpected return home insurance,
- Purchase assurance and extended warranty for goods bought with the Card,
- Legal assistance,
The other travel-related cash transfer, document/ticket replacement, lost baggage and information are ASSISTANCE services NOT insurance.
