Now, whenever I apply for another card, I am declined based on not being a first time Citi cardholder.

Has anyone discovered an ingenious way around this limit?

I doubt the new card offers are coming from Citi. More likely from AA.

Possibly the only way around this limitation is to wait a few years between applications.
