I plan to open both a Citi checking and a Citi savings account, but I think I should do them one at a time, because I'd like to get one done and pay off the credit card and then do the second using the same cc, does that make sense? Thanks!
Yes, people have done more than their CL, and I regret not having thought of that. One guy here did 3X his limit (granted, if your CL is $100K, don't count on being able to run $300K).

IMO you've got the right approach by staggering when you open each account. You clearly want to run a 'full' charge each time. You may however want to use a different CC. I try to make this a part of my churn process (assuming you churn the Citi AA cards). Especially now that it appears the Citi AA Visa card is back, and with a 30K promo as well.
