Been re-reading the thread a bit today and wanted to double check a couple things.
I applied for and was accepted for AA Amex and AA Visa over 18 months ago(still have both cards). If I cancel the VISA and/or AMEX today can I apply for the personal visa tomorrow(using link 3)? Sounds like I can since it only matters how long ago it is that you applied and not when you cancel.
Then, in a few days I can apply for the 30k MC offer and 60 days after that I could then go and do the business visa(using link 3). Does that all sound ok?
