I finished The Starwood Amex bonus for 30,000 points. After that successful bonus, I applied for both the Bank of Hawaii Visa signature and the Bank of America Hawaiian airlines cards.

My main reason for getting those cards was to transfer over to Hilton at a 1:2 ratio creating 140,000 Hilton Honors points. After those two apps my credit was suffering, it was down to 740, so I decided to give the apps a rest for a few months. It recovered handsomely, now back up to a 780 and I re-applied for the Barclay’s visa signature (churnable) up to 60,000 bonus miles and the Chase ink. I’m also beginning to plan a trip somewhere, I haven’t fully decided where but I’m starting to get antsy not traveling.
