Now that Alaska joined One World, I was looking for a backway into some extra miles and BofA is not an option for us and currently holding out for 60 days on husband Chase United approval before going for another, so saw that Cathay is backed by Sync... Husband applied and instantly got the 7-10 day notice which is 99% denied with Sync... to my surprised a little over a week later a letter came in the mail saying please call us for verification... Didn't know sync did that.
The call then provided a website which he had to go to and take a selfie and upload his DL and answer a couple questions and then was given a code to call back to verifications with the code and upon entering code they gave instant approval $1537 (odd number, which usually means it can be increased so just waiting the card to try that)
Comes with 40k mile bonus on $3k spend.
