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.
Have you applied for cards other than the AA cards this year?
I got the CO MC Onepass on Feb7, Venture VISA on March11, BA Visa in April11, AMEX Hilton and CITI Hilton on May21. Now thinking of applying for the 50k CHASE Sapphire preferred (more than 60 days from last CHASE app), then apply for two AA cards at the end of July. However, I'm worried about getting CITI denial due to too many apps.
