Datapoint - Citi system shows all WEs for me, yet new World Elite card not mailed yet...and thus not activated.
Applied today using link 14 (link 13 did not work - 404--oops notice on citi.com) and instantly approved for new World card #4.
So it looks like you can start cycle again without receiving physical new WE card since it can take some time for Citi to actually mail it after converting you (weeks).
Quick update, new WE card in mail today. Did not confirm bonus as automatic approval but havent confirmed bonus yet and all letters have had 50k mention. Willl report if contrary this time
