Today, June 28, I received both cards, two welcome letters, and an e-mail confirmation saying that my Visa card had been approved from Citi. While activating the cards, I confirmed the 50k miles after $3,000 in spending during the first 4 months, and a $100 credit after the first AA purchase for both cards.
Thanks!
Thanks for posting fresh data which seems to indicate again that 20 months is more the norm these days for most folks as your April applications after 19 months were denied, but the one after 21 months are approved.
