Coming back to answer my own question. I asked the same over on the DoC thread and sirtheta responded that she was offered the option to PC to the Travel Rewards or Cash Rewards.

DP: Applied for this card, and Alaska at the same time. Went to pending. Alaska approved later same day, Merrill still pending. After 2 days called recon line, and was declined for having applied for 5 Alaska cards 2 years ago on the same day, then cancelling them a year later.
Check app status page immediately stopped working for me with the following message:

Did they explicitly tell you were being declined "for having applied for 5 Alaska cards 2 years ago on the same day, then cancelling them a year later"?

I am in the same situation . The rep told me that I opened and closed many cards in the past years . Do not apply many cards at the same time now .

I was declined also. They said I'd just opened an Alaska card on March 17th and wanted to see how that was managed, despite having another card with them and having cards in the past. I think they are cracking down.

After basically giving away $1000 in free airfare to everyone, I'm not surprised.

I just got a call from them telling me they were closing my card. Just got the email yesterday it was in the mail too. Said I have too many current cards with them (only 2 others). I think they are freaking out about the app going public again after they pulled it personally.

If people are denied or approved in error, please let us know the following:

How many Bank of America cards have you had in the last 12 months? 24 months? How many cards do you currently hold.

DP: Mine was closed without notice after being approved (and me spending $2,600 on it shortly after using the online account number w/o issue...)

Probably well over 20/24, haven't kept track.

Currently:
1x Checking with BofA (oldest checking account)
1x Savings with BofA
2x Credit Cards with BofA (cash rewards, etc, oldest cards on my report)
1x Business Alaska (2 years old now)

I closed 2x alaska personal in the last 6 months, applied for 1x alaska personal and Merrill+ on 3/29. Wasn't approved for alaska but was approved for Merrill on 3/29. Looks like they closed it on 4/2...
