when I closed both last month I was told "Well sir you could always reapply and get the bonus again" pretty much verbatim on BOTH accounts.
I may just do that!
Both had offered me a retention of only having to pay 1/2 the annual fee but I said no and so I canceled. I will consider my options when credit and timing frees up.

Transfer benefits
If one closes all HA credit cards, does the free incoming transfer for HA miles still work (at least for the near future)? In theory it shouldn't but in practice there is a gap between the Bank's system and the airline system so it might still work. Pls let me know if anybody has a recent experience. Thanks.

Pls refer to my quoted post above. If all your HA cards were recently closed, is there anyway u can pls check and see if it is still possible to transfer HA miles from another person's (spouse, family etc.) HA account to your HA account? Just want to see if incoming HA transfers are still possible after closing the HA credit cards. Will really appreciate if could check and advise. TIA.
I will try and find out. And the good news is that my wife got both cards just recently (and her miles into her HA acct) so if it comes down to it, I transfers could be done the other way too. I may try to combine both our miles anyway but have yet to contact anyone to find out how.
Mine were open just about a year and the fees hit so I called in. I acted all innocent but just trying to avoid extra costs etc. When asked if it was wrong to close so soon, the BofA rep said no, I dont think this is bad. I would do the same thing. I asked her if that's called churning and she said, no, I dont think you are doing that.

I just applied for both these cards at the same time today and got pending further review...ill get a decision within 30 days?! Has anyone gotten instant approvals for these? I thought I would be in pretty good standing to get them easily. What should I do now? Call reconsideration right away?

If you only like to redeem miles for access to premium cabins on varieties of partners, HA is not going to help you. If free trips to HI are your thing and you can tolerate sitting in Y, you can do a lot worse.

Your second app is likely going to require a call in, because both app actually goes through FIA (I think BOA).
I actually applied for these cards at separate times, so the second one was instantly approved. No problem. ^
Good luck!

Hi I read info about applying these two cards together will generate just one hit for FIA. Is this still the case lately? I am about to apply for both and would like to keep hit to the minimum. Thanks for any comment and help.
Also how often can we churn on this? I heard someone did apply for a second copy of the same card while holding the old one. Is this still possible? Just wonder what is your experience.
Lastly, is BOA VS also pull from the same company? Can I swap out one of these with BOA VS and still get just one pull?
Thanks very much for your help.

I have gotten conditional approval for the card once (the first of such kind) in which I got a number to call in. That was my first ever app with BOA (even though I already have a banking relationship with them) and they asked tons of questions. And I mean tons, it was like 15 minutes.
