I’m dying to hear how you got 4 cards from Barclays, all automatically approved. You had to have submitted them using the multi-browser trick.
What are the perks of all these Barclay’s cards?
Amazed by Barclays. They have always been a challenge in my experience. I’m looking forward to more details!
@emily – I will do a detailed follow-up post on this, as noted, I fired that off before my flight to China. Barclays in particular is quite interesting!
did you apply for two of the same B of A Alaska Airlines Personal credit cards?
@traveler – I have never applied for the Alaska personal, I keep hoping the 40k bonus will come back so this time I did the biz, partly because wanted to test getting 2 biz from BOA, never tried any biz cards with them…chalk it up to blog research. 🙂
Wow this is all in one round? That is a lot of apps in one go. What is your frequency?
@MilesAbound – yep, all on Monday, I do quarterly but sort of missed the September round, instead I had some August with Hilton Reserve x2 and the SPG 30k biz bonus + Amex Delta Plat bonus.
could you post the bonuses and spends on these?
