I had the whole stash of the Citi AA cards and the last one I canceled was in 11/2010. I want that Hilton card offering of 40K pts and the the TYP cards offering 50K and 6K respectively........my question is:
if I get these 3 cards now.....would this dampen my chances of getting the AA CITI cards later in say December 2011?

I thought they take into account ALL the CITI cards in your possession and not just the ones you apply for...
