I’ll try to make this short. We live near Hilo on The Big Island and had a Hawaiian Airlines credit card issued by Barclays. When United Airlines flew out of Hilo direct to the mainland, we opened a UAL credit card issued by Chase and canceled HAL’s CC. Six months later UAL canceled all direct flights to the mainland from Hilo. We also had issues with the system not recognizing the card number. So, my husband talked to United and asked for a new card with a different card number when the renewal came up. He was told to reapply. So he canceled the card and reapplied. Both Chase and United told my husband that he now has to wait 2 years before he can get another card. He then reapplied with Hawaiian and was also denied because he was not considered to be a new applicant. Mind you, we have an 800-range credit score.
Bottom line — think twice before getting airline credit cards, especially those with annual fees. Is it really what you want? We now just use our Chase Private Client card and use the cash back for baggage fees.
