This is the response I received today when my GCR rebate didn't show up:

MBNA has completed their investigation for inquiries submitted last month. They did not approve your missing transaction inquiry because you had a prior Alaska card at MBNA. MBNA offers a rebate for new Alaska card clients only. It is stated on the MBNA page on our site.

Eagerly waiting for the MBNA BW I applied just over 2 weeks ago. How long does it normally take to get the card in the mail?

Datapoint: My application for a BW Card with the renewed offer was declined, in the letter I received it explicitly stated it was because I already had a BW Credit Card. So it seems definitely like the Alaska card, MBNA is tightening things to 1 card of each kind at a time.

Thank you. I did already see 20,000 Best Western points earned attached with my first purchase with the card, plus the small additional points I've been earning with regular spending. I was wondering if the next tiered 20,000 points for spending $1000 within 90 days would appear right away, or do I need to wait for the full 90 days. I suppose I can find out once I reach $1000 in spending, later this week.

Okay, then. If it's ANY kind of spend,
Here's how I measure this card:
6% on the first $3500 of any kind of spend
- 2% (the value that I would get elsewhere on that spend anyway)
= 4% x $3500 = $140 value

But, the Terms & Conditions on TD's website are clear that 6% is only for gas + groceries + recurring merchant categories. Does your email show different Terms?

If it's indeed 6% on any kind of spend, then this card is good enough for me.
But I'd need to see those Terms on my application.

I applied for this account. Whole process took about 15 minutes.
Doing a pre-authorized payroll deposit is sufficient to satisfy the terms of the offer. Many payroll providers can issue your paycheque in two amounts. So I've asked my payroll provider to pay $100 into this account twice a month, and the remainder of my paycheque going into my main bank account. Easy.

The CIBC account manager emphasized that I need to keep the account open for "three whole months". I think he is quite used to churners opening these accounts.

I called and asked if there is any promo like this and the rep was pretty confident that its gas grocery etc

It varied for me in the past. sometimes as soon as the target is hit, other times on 3rd or 4th statement.
