Instantly approved for $17k.

Low for me these days, but it can grow. Still quite useful, and it's not like it has an intro 0% period. No APR specified.

Should I call to expedite? Does anyone have the number?

Congrats, sir

1-800-732-9194 you'll be placed priority for service being Platinum Honors and just tell them if they can expedite the card for travel next week

I called 888-888-RWDS. It took 14 minutes to get a rep (though the ID verification via debit last 4 digits at the beginning mentioned I was PH...) and the rep said to call back tomorrow since the card number hadn't generated yet.

Not sure whether to call the number you gave tomorrow or tonight.

I'd try tomorrow morning. I would hope they have the card number in their computers by then. Wouldn't hurt to try the number up there if you want

Congrats on the approval!  $17K is a fairly common SL from BoA across their core cards and is in fact quite a good one from them for any of them.

You shouldn't have much trouble growing it significantly due to your significant assets in Merrill even if your requests get deferred to a senior analyst, and don't be surprised if you see the "request a credit limit increase" hyperlink show up long before 90 days.

Congratulations on your approval!

Congratualation on your approval!

I called 1-800-732-9194 just now. The rep said the card should arrive tomorrow via UPS for no additional fee.

~10 minute wait this time.

Nice. Enjoy the card on your trip; really nice like AR with Samsung Pay to not worry about categories 😂🍸

FYI IME 10-15 minutes is an unusually long wait for an Honors client but it's happened to me.  I've also called and gotten a live transfer to a qualified CSR so you never know.
