So quiet.

I hope you're right.

The more quiet it remains, the higher our expectations become. Which also increases our chances of disappointment.

We really need to get a little healthy competition going.

Yes. It is so quiet that I was compelled to apply for an Air Miles Amex last week!

Does anyone know if Capital One has a reconsideration line? I tried applying for the IHG plat card and was denied, wondering why.

Ugh, I don't like Capital One's requirements, very restrictive.

Were you provided the reason yet? They usually send a letter explaining why you were denied. Once you know the reasons, then you can take the next step.

Otherwise, I believe you can try to apply again in 6 months. If one of the reasons, for example, is because of your credit score, then you'll know that's what you need to improve.

Just received a letter saying my MBNA Alaska Card is being transferred to TD!?

Old news, TD bought out MBNA a long time ago, they're just finally getting around to merging their systems

MBNA's website is going down at the end of Sep, and e-statement users will be forced to paper statement until the end of October

Hmmm...time to cancel I guess. I haven't had the card for more than 6 months, and planned to at least keep it for the year, but I won't be using the companion fare thing anyway, and already got my 25K points safe and sound in my AS account. This is just a great excuse to cancel - thanks MBNA!

Does this mean we will not be able to churn this card as much? :(

Possibly even better... Historically, TD has offered bonuses on card conversion w/o an inquiry + they're happy to move credit over to force approval like MBNA was. I'd say this could be good!

flyertalker00156 Aug 19, 2014 5:00 pm

So does this mean we will have to apply the card through TD as of October 1st?

SirJman Aug 19, 2014 9:41 pm

Think we'll be better off holding or applying now? I was thinking of getting the AS card for the first time.

Can't hurt getting it now. If MBNA moves to TD I think it'll be easy to get another one.
