If the Citi biz Amex card deal is still there, you can come back in 61 days and apply for that card, and get another 75K miles. But if you apply for all three at once, you'll get denied on some of them for not being a first time user.
Yup, i just signed up for the co and ba cards recently so I had to find things to buy to meet the requirement. Darn, never thought it would be so hard trying to spend money lol..
I'm not sure I'll have enough things to spend $5,500 on in the next few months. I read that some folks are buying gift cards and some are buying coins. The coins buying might have been caught up. I don't need GC's and I'm not sure if the coins will work. Any other idea as to how to spend to meet the min required?
