"Why we're writing you
Thank you for applying for the Citi Select(SM) / AAdvantage(R)
American Express(R) account.

Here's what you should know
Unfortunately, we are unable to approve the application at
this time because:

o We have recently opened an account for you. This
includes any of your accounts issued by Citibank (South
Dakota), N.A. such as Visa, MasterCard, store cards,
or gas cards. We invite you to apply again after your
account has been open for at least a year.

We appreciate your interest and we hope to have the opportunity
to serve you in the future.

Sincerely..."

Has anyone seen this before? If so, is there any way around it? Is this new?

Since I've had so many accounts with them, I'm not even sure which one should be a year old. The oldest is probably a year or so. The rest are either canceled or will be once the miles post. Any ideas?
