This might have been asked before, but curious:
How many days does it take for the MBNA Best Western bonus to credit? I'm looking to convert them to Aeroplan to get the bonus. 60k = 8k + 1k bonus = 9k aeroplan.
Deadline for AP bonus is August 11

The main use for me here is to have these points as "topper-uppers". I'm about 8-9k short of a redemption with Aeroplan and I need some Aadvantage and I've already churned a whole bunch of other cards so need some breathing room.

Only reason I got the card was I have a couple of trips with an overnight layover. Instead of using my Marriott or Starwood points or cash even for a short airport stay I would rather burn these BW points. I'll get 3 nights in total at 3 different airports.

Has anyone successfully used the MBNA BW 40k offer link recently? Just wondering if it is still considered "active" versus the 20k offer.
I also saw a 60k offer being promoted back in May and the link appears to still be active but I don't see any mention of an expiry date???

In one of my recent experiences applying for the card I was only granted a credit limit of $1000. The (relative) absurdity of reaching a $2000 minimum spend on a $1000 credit limit was quick to convince the phone rep to move some credit around to increase it to $2000.

Looking for advice on how to proceed.
My wife and I cancelled our marriott cards in Jan 2016 . She just applied for it again online, (3rd churn) and was asked to call in. When she did they said she wont be entitled to the pts as they would just re-open her old card. She asked to be considered a new applicant and they declined stating if she wanted the pts she will have to pay the AF.
I thought 6 months was enough of a wait... it was the first time we churned. Any new developments i'm not aware of? Any advice? should she wait another month and retry?
I'm holding off on my app now because of this
Thanks

I don't know where to post this question, but I will post it here since I don't know any other Canadian forum on FlyerTalk.
What is the american equivalent of "Interac e-Transfer"? Is there one? Are instant transfers from one US bank account to another US back account possible?
Thanks for your help!

Your best shot might be MoneyGram or WU.
