Sorry for the delay in making this a sticky. The original PM from CandymanJim got lost in the shuffle.
Thanks to CMJ for putting in all this work! I did prune out some posts that were no longer necessary, and will continue to do so as CMJ updates the main post with any of your suggestions.

Uh, yea....., that link expires 8/31/09 too, I have that one already posted on the first post, I wanted to see if anyone had a link that expired AFTER 8/31/09.

Here is a link for the BIZ card that expires Nov 30 09. 30k plus no annual fee for the first year.
It's for personal (and business) Visa, for the first time in a long time!!!!
sdsearch,
Thanks for the VISA link. My question, how does this affect the 90 day business card waiting period. Specifically, can one apply for both a Mastercard and Visa Business card on the same day and get approved for both.
I recommend that the next person that is applying for a business card apply for both the Mastercard and Visa card on the same day and let us know the results.
no thanks,it never worked a year ago,why should it work now?..unless of course you have 2 tax ids which then ymmv.
so if you want you can be the guine pig but dont say i didnt warn you
how does this affect the 90 day business card waiting period. Specifically, can one apply for both a Mastercard and Visa Business card on the same day and get approved for both.
1. What 90-day business card waiting period? Anecdoate after anecdote in this and other threads in recent months suggests that it is gone or disappearing for most people. Many people are now finding simply a single 60-day calendar for personal and business combined.
2. Even when it existed, the 90-day calendar had nothing to do with which offer you used, which website you used, which type (Visa, MC) you used, or whether it was an AA or non-AA card you used. It was part of the approval process at Citi, so it applied equally to all cards Citi classiified as "business" (some weren't called that exactly, it didn't matter what they were called but how Citi classified them), no matter what other details. So even then, I don't how "this" offer/website would change anything at all?
All this website provides is cards you can apply for, if those particular cards meet your needs. But all Citi policies are independent of whether you use this offer, another offer, or no offer at all (just call them "blind" and say "I want to apply for a credit card").
Btw, someone PMd me that they have trouble with the app at this link. Please note that while this link itself is short (and thus easy to remember), it expands to a very long link (once you click on the short one), and that long like has "September" (abbreivated) in it, which implies that maybe we found this link a few days before it was supposed to go "live".
Hi, great thread, thx! So, I had applied for the Citi AA Select Amex card using a 25K bonus mile link back in August. The first statement cycle (with me having reached the $750 spending level) will close shortly.
Was wondering if, once the 25K bonus miles have been posted, I can contact Citi and get them to post 5K more miles given all the 30K bonus mile links around?? (Wish I had seen this thread before I applied )
No. They may offer you 5k to try to stop you from closing a card, but they won't match some sign-up bonus different from what you agreed to.
After noticing that 25K bonus miles were posted, as expected, with the statement that closed yesterday, called Citi's customer service anyway; they (the first level rep brought in an account manager) were gracious enough to post 5k more miles, no questions asked! Didn't have to threaten cancellation of the card. I guess Citi has enough spare AAdvantage miles lying around!
Is there a limit on the number of AA cards you can hold? Citibank just told me the max of AA type cards was 3.
I don't see this anywhere. Can sb confirm?
Citibank has allowed up to 6 credit cards at a time. I think the reason your question never came up is because most people have no reason to have more than 3 AA specific cards at a time anyway. I am confused as to what purpose this serves?

I was offered 3000 extra miles to keep a card active. Should I take this deal and keep the card active for a few more months, or is is recommended to just cancel it as soon as the miles have posted?
