I recommend e-Rewards ONLY if you just need some account activity.

In terms of value for time spent,
it doesn't make sense to spend time completing these e-Rewards surveys.


Does United have an equivalent?

Yes, they're actually on e-rewards too. I usually put up around 1,000 MP points a month that way.

My version only offers UA for airline points along with a bunch of hotel chains. I guess I'm using the Canadian version?

It was almost not worth the effort, but I saved over $250 on a one night room booking at the BW Plaza near HNL during the Christmas holidays, so I'm satisfied.

For those just starting this ordeal, what is the best contact info for getting to the right person at the start?

Not sure if this has been noted anywhere else, but MBNA has upped the offer on the BW MC to 60K if you spend $2K within 90 days.

I did receive an email from BW regarding this offer ...
but I think it is for "new" cardholder only ...

Can anyone confirm :confused:

Interesting, it says: Limit one-time bonus point offer (no cash value) per new account. ................anyone have churn this card before?:p

Our 8-member churn team just finished another MBNA churn with the AS card. How long short a wait b/w MBNA apps is too short?

is this the best it's been? I've never held the card and it's been half a year since my last MBNA application so I'm definitely interested haha

2k spend is no issue

I think that's as good as it gets.

In 2013, MBNA had a promo for 50K BWRs, after $1K spending...and another 10K after another $1K spending. So, in the end, effectively the same, 60K BWRs for $2K spending. So yeah, as good as it's ever been.

It's been a LOOOOONG wait to see them come back with a decent elevated promo. The recent 40K BWRs after first purchase promo was Ok, but I prefer the higher points even though it requires some spending.

A good strategy within MBNA might be to apply for this BW card, roll over credit limits from the Alaska card (if you have any) then cancel those and re-apply later. Good to have extra limits with MBNA to help future approvals.

Do purchases made on the supplementary cards count towards the spend requirement?

bmabnorth May 11, 2016 8:59 pm

Is the 40k BW on first spend offer still available - or is that replaced with the new 2k spend requirement?

Just got the RBC Avios card, 2 months to the day I cancelled the last one! Thankfully I have my companies car insurance and accountants bill coming up. More than enough.

Already planning a trip to PNG for next year. Avios for SYD-CNS or BNE return. The Qantas SYD domestic lounge is heaven!!!! Getting to SYD on United J. For a $3000 AC YQ saving I'll take the non-pod option, beside we slept for 10 hours of the 15hr flight from LAX-SYD.
