Just tried to get the CITI MC AA card for my husband - immediate approval. Then tried the CITI HHonors card and it said they can't do it at this time. Same answer on the Club Carlson Premier Visa.
I meant to use the two browser trick - tomorrow - just to be sure, and then got distracted when I made a decision to go for the expiring Avios offer today after all. In the rush to get it done today instead of tomorrow, I neglected to use the two browser trick. And then in the end I never pulled the trigger on the Avios offer. Just didn't seem in line with my goals. Which just says one more time - don't rush it!
Now I need to persuade him to call in....
