I have documented the struggle to get approved for the Barclays Hawaii Business card.

9 months later, with many calls to recon and many documents uploaded, I am happy to say I am finally approved. I do not understand why they make the process next to impossible. I do not understand why repeat customers need to verify who they are (see JetBlue Business Approved! Yes, Alexander Bachuwa Owns Bachuwa Law). But it’s over, and I will have even more Alaska Atmos points as a result of my efforts. Getting approved became a personal mission beyond points. Now, I set my sights on being approved for the Atmos Business card.
The real question is, what will I do with all these points? Availability on Fiji to Australia is non-existent, interfering with my return flight for my 2026 residency.
Congrats on getting the card.
And, yes, difficult to use.
Unfortunately, the 55k business class to Nadi is never available.
I have hundreds of thousands of Atmos points through Bank of Hawaii, Barclays Hawaiian cards and BofA Alaska cards, but have only gotten value out of using them for 7,500 points flights on Finnair to visit friends in Helsinki when I was on a trip to somewhere else in Europe.

Sadly, the 55k availability is quite different now than in 2022.
I check every couple months out of LAX, SFO and SEA and, if there is business availability, it’s 200,000 plus points each way.
Have you found any of the paid search sites (pointsyeah, or others) to be worth the $ and effort.
