Datapoint
Applied for the personal card about 9 days ago and got to screen #3. Keep calling the 800# and no record of my application (but to wait up to 2 weeks for processing).
Applied for business card a day or two ago and got immediate approval.
Checked the personal line tonight and learned that my personal app has been approved. Yeah!
I had a Citi AAdvantage MC that I closed sometime last fall (November I'm guessing). I did spend quite a bit on that card so that may have influenced their decision to approve my app.
200k miles here I come!
