It took a couple of months, and a half-dozen emails and phone calls with MBNA/TD customer services, but I finally got the full 40,000 bonus miles posted to my Best Western Rewards account. 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.

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.

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

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.

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.
