Got approved by recon after a hard time for too may inquiries.
For those who got approved, does the app status web page say Approved? Mine just says In Progress till today, although recon approved me on Friday. How long does it take for the card to show up in the mail?

Any idea how the Delta availability is when redeeming through VA? Obviously, at 25k miles for a domestic RT, it's quite a bit cheaper than most redemptions using Sky Pesos. But if you can only actually book flights that are available at, say, Delta's lowest redemption level, it's not such a great deal anymore.

I took the plunge. Thanks for posting it, mxhjustin. I can put business expenses on the card to make the minimum. I'll probably try to use the FC points to get a RT award on Virgin America. For the transcons, it's 75K points for First.
Then again, VS Upper Class is really nice (100K points plus US$1,200-1,450 tax/surcharge).

if you don't mind me asking bobby...how many inquiries was too many for them? I ask because that is what is stopping me from applying for this card...have too many INQ on my EX report. Don't really wanna pass up this deal since I will be traveling to London in February.

I took the plunge as well. Instantly approved with an $8k credit line (note: I also have a longstanding banking relationship with them). Today I also applied for the AMEX Delta and Chase IHG cards and were approved for those as well. 13 applications in the past year and one in the past 3 months. It's going to be a pain meeting the $12k spend, but I think it's worth it.

I and others in the thread have verified the opposite in that very thread. Are you sure you're not searching and finding outdated information about loading BoA Buxx (which no longer exist) cards with BoA credit cards or problems with using US Bank credit cards on US Bank Buxx cards?

wells thanks for all the info people, especially on the approvals. Unfortunately I tried to freeze my EX a couple of weeks ago and couldn't do it online...they requested me to send identity proof and copy of SS so decided to leave it alone, now I wished I would have followed through...I may just risk and let them pull my EX again (have 28 INQs to be exact, 10 this year alone). I guess worse they can say is no right?...
My scores range from 750-765 across all 3 and utilization is 6% at the moment. I already have 56k in credit with BofA, also a platinum banking member (over 50k in savings and investment (Merrill Lynch). My oldest BofA CC is over 2 years old and my other one just turned 1.

Check the BoA reconsideration thread in this very forum. It has a Spanish recon number where the CSRs are bilingual and can take care of everything for you.
