10-12 weeks? So it takes at least 2 months to get the 40K miles? Wow, you get the miles MUCH faster from UA/CO Chase even though they have an initial spending requirement...lame

I think they are just saying that to be safe. IIRC it posts within a day or two of the statement close date.

Actually, since I need the miles waaaaaay before 10-12 weeks, I checked the Alaska Air website and it says 1-2 weeks (whew...hope that estimate is more accurate).

If I stay on the line it says it will transfer me to an application specialist, but then it asks for an account #, which I don't have yet (b/c I haven't been approved). Other than that, there's just an automated app status checker.

I haven't been able to get anyone on the phone for this. Any ideas?

Success with Reconsideration
This morning when I went to apply for both Virgin and Alaska cc's the online system was down. I phoned the telephone numbers on the app's. First phone call got approval for a $15K limit. I asked to lower it to $5K so I could also get Alaska card. They said no problem but when I telephoned the Alaska app got denied. Finally got the reconsideration phone number, called and csr overturned denial and gave me Alaska card with $10K limit also.
The golden reconsideration number is 866-458-8805
Now I'm tempted to try for the HA cc also since all inquiries from same lender on same day are combined by bureaus.

Miles posted to my account Friday morning as 3 separate bonuses as well.
Havent even recieved the card in the mail yet. Easy miles grab.
Getting the fiance to sign up and will probably use these miles for honeymoon trip next year.
