I'm confused. Were you waiting for the renewal code to post before canceling? Or you just have a trip you want to book?

I was wondering when does the renewal companion fare code get deposited? Or should I give up and just cancel the card? I have a few days left before it's due. Or does TD do partial year refund if I cancel in say sometime in December?

I applied 9/12 I believe. Apparently all MBNA credit approval systems were put on hold as of that date as part of the transition to TD. Should have applied one day earlier... There's no way for agents to manually put through the queued applications. Anyone considering an application may want to hold off until early October to see how things play out.

Why not call/email GCR with the reference number and proof of your new AS credit card and see what they say? I find they are pretty responsive the past few times I've emailed them.

After 3 reps, I got extremely different answers from each. I was personally hoping for the renewal companion fare before cancelling, but it sounds like it will be a headache. My planned trip is also coming up soon in Jan so I wasn't sure if $75+companion fare+price increases (esp if the companion fare doesn't post until December) would actually work out to be cheaper than just booking now.

I finally received my MBNA card in the mail this week after apply for this card back on Sept 28. I thought the application got lost during the transition so it was a nice surprise. I also received my first statement showing the $75 fee due and the 25,000 welcome bonus points.
However, I have not seen the points deposited to my mileage balance on the Alaska Airlines site. How long does this typically take after the card is received?
I will also have to follow up with GCR about the $50 rebate once their system are back up and running.

I should also add that the statement says 25,000 Bonus Miles but for "Miles shared with Alaska Airlines" is says 0.

Did they open a new mileage account for you?

Nope. I had created one on my own prior to applying for the card.

- create Alaska account, get # to input during CC application
- see 25K posted to Alaska
- Then GCR $60 rebate posted
- before receiving the card
At least that was my experiences (both times)
Follow up with MBNA then

OK thanks I will give them a call. Weird thing is that the points show up on the MBNA rewards website...

I just ran into this today. I called MBNA and they said they would pass it on to the technical support group and get back to me. I pointed out to them that the card is useless to me if I can't get transaction downloads to work properly and will be cancelling the card prior to my annual fee coming due Nov 20 if this isn't fixed.
