However, based on the data point on the post after your's (even though it's 2010 data and assuming he/she is referring to the personal gold), maybe Citi will allow the gold a day or more after being approved for a platinum. If you applied for 2 platinums (or any other Citi cards) a few weeks ago, I would wait 65 days from your app date before trying the gold.
well patience has never been a virtue of mine so i just checked on the status using the link provided by email and a chat window popped up. app was APPROVED yay!!!
as i suspected the main reason for the lack of instant approval was to move CL.
we used the link posted by CVG_Kid (thanks!
) in post 4820:

just an FYI only an amex app was submitted late last week and the gold app submitted a few days later so we had no issues with the 2 apps within 65 days rule. good luck and i hope you get an instant approval as well
thanks again bksmm for reporting your initial success - wouldn't have thought to submit a gold app without your datapoint!
