Multiple Better Balance Rewards without a PC?

[Anonymous]

I would say there is still hope. Especially given that they gave u such a great limit.  I would say after 2 weeks if you dont see it added to your current lineup, why not give them a call? Whats the worst thing that could happen?

Just tell them that you really love bank of america, its your favorite card, and you want it to have more flexibility for future balance transfers.

As someone with 5 bbr's, yes.

Thanks for the info. Were any 2 or more of those applied for on the same day? If yes, were they auto approvals or did you have to verify/recon to get them?

My experience is that BoA didn't give me the second BBR. I called in for the recon, but the CSP told me I had enough credit from them (only 2 cards, 6.5k CL). I guess the really reason is I only used the BBR card for min purchase and got the seasonal cash back in the past year. Maybe I just not good at recon. See my earlier threads. 

Be carefull when you app for multiple BBRs. It may be better to show your usage on the previous cards before apping.

Yeah, that is why I didn't want to call recon. I've swiped the card once. Basically all I had done with my other BBR was transfer balances to it since they give 0% offers all the time. With my second one I was going to use it for Netflix or Hulu.

My hope is that the auto approval will slide through and the other one just gets rejected. I'm happy with 2 of them for now. In retrospect I probably should have waited another 6+ months before applying for a 3rd one.

I just wanted to give a quick update on this in case anyone is curious about applying for a 2nd/3rd BBR card. My auto approval went through and I activated the new card without any issues.

As for the application that went pending, I received a notification that they did not process it because they believed it was a duplicate request. So basically, no harm no foul. I might app for one more of these down the road. My only concern is if they choose to discontinue the product at some point. It might not be worth getting another one in 6+ months if they are going to go away in the next year or two.

Is it certain that they are doomed, or is everyone just making that assumption?

Good luck to you and your brother. I'm guessing that you'll end up getting a notice similar to the one I got (i.e. second was a duplicate), but please let us know either way.
