As I mentioned earlier, my mom got the 50/50 offer earlier today. Neither she now my dad were former Citi/AA cardmembers. They were both instantly approved for both cards, and will wait to hear on the business card.
I'm relatively new to the game, but churned 5-6 CitiAA cards last year and this spring before they pulled the plug. I still hold, and use a CitiAA Visa. Sure those were a nice 150K, but today's offer alone would've made up for that. What a shame....
I applied using the offers through my mom's e-mail (same links posted in this forum), but got no instant approvals--told I will be contacted in the next few weeks. I do not expect to get approved, and if I do, I really don't expect the bonuses...
