As per discussion on the Canadian Alaska Mastercard thread, it appears the complimentary checked bag allowance applies to the World Elite card not the Platinum Plus card as per the small print. 😯

When we churned these Alaska cards last year, none of us got the rebate from GCR. They said we’d gotten the rebate before, and we can’t get another rebate on the same card. Have any of you gotten repeat rebates on this card recently?

Yes, got another rebate 2 weeks ago... had it last year (and 3x previously, with no problems)

Yes. Got it last year.
Having the card previously doesn't preclude you from getting the rebate again, as I don't recall anything like that in the T&C and that would be pretty abnormal as Alaska pays them for every approved application - bonus or not. You should double check the T&C, appeal, and let us know how it goes.

I applied and was approved yesterday for the 30k offer via GCR. Just clicked through again now and I get the 25k offer so it looks like the 30k is gone. Fortunately, I took a screenshot of the 30k.

I've heard that MBNA will just reopen the old account if I apply for a new card within 3 months of closing the old one, but what would happen if I did a product change to the MBNA Rewards Mastercard (effectively leaving that account open), and then applied for a new Alaska card soon after? Any data points on this? Thanks.

Anybody has succes on getting approved for a second MBNA Alaska card? I already have one and plan to keep it till November .
On side note from Septemeber 01 the MBNA alaska card annual fee goes from 75 to 99 CAD, however now you get a complimentery checked bag.
