Maybe someone can comment on Barclays-issued cards.What's the consensus on Alaska Miles? There's a Hawaiian Airlines card offering 70,000 points for a single purchase

Last year I got it approved instantly with an invitation and code from a flight attendant on AA flight. No minimum spend, fee free for first year for 60k. I kept it one year then cancelled it. I'd day grab it before it goes away.Maybe someone can comment on Barclays-issued cards.
Naah mate they couldn't verify. I applied for 2 cards over 4-5 month period and both the times verification seemed to be an issue. I've given up on Chase till I visit and open a bank account in branch.Was there any favourable outcome here? Applied for a CSP after my Ink application went nowhere and being asked for a W-9 form. Not sure how to progress or if this one is toast as well
Costco codes as Wholesale Clubs which is different from the Grocery Stores MCC. It tracks as 1x on the HSBC. I tried it a few weeks ago as I had similar thoughts as you.Any idea what Costco tracks at? I have $3k worth of Accor gift cards to buy and figured this would be a good way to meet half of the SUB spend - would be a lovely bonus if they got 3x!
Do you need to open a checking account in person or can you skip straight to opening a CC in person?Naah mate they couldn't verify.

I'm reading reports on frequent miler that MR transfers (to Hawaiian?) are now getting cancelled. Not sure if true.Huge news for those racking up massive MR balances.
Hawaiian now transfers to Alaska 1:1.
What would they do if you had a small outstanding balance in situations like this? Do they still close and demand the money?Called chase again tonight. Apparently my account has already been closed due to thin credit history and too many recent card applications. Asked for reconsideration/reinstatement and they did another credit pull and denied again.
Called 2 more times for reinstatement. First call, lady said I had a thin credit history, have no public record of me and phone number not even in my name.
2nd call lady says I have too many cards and the chase card can never be reopened again. Welcome to apply again for a new card but not guaranteed approval.
I guess that is it?

Just went thru my HSBC transactions and none of them got bonus points except Purchases from Qantas marketplace, Airlines and Cruises. Transactions from Coles/Woolworths/Ampol/7Eleven all got 1x.Costco codes as Wholesale Clubs which is different from the Grocery Stores MCC. It tracks as 1x on the HSBC.

I have several purchases from different Coles, IGA, some indian grocery stores, multiple 7-elevens and they all coded correctly for 3x. The only one that didnt code correctly for me was a BP gas station so far. I guess its a bit luck of the draw and depending on how the store has configured their terminal?Just went thru my HSBC transactions and none of them got bonus points except Purchases from Qantas marketplace, Airlines and Cruises.
