Always a similar AA Biz card. Usually the size of the bonus changes over time
Same advantage number, same business name, same TIN, I change the "name on the card" each time to help me keep them straight. I always cancel 1 to 2 weeks after the miles post and wait al least 2 weeks to apply again. I always apply Tue thru Thu during business hours if possible.
Background for my previous Citi credit card applications:
Date / Type of Card Days / Previous Application Result
1 Aug '13 Citi Per AA Chat Line (move CL) Approval (Top choice in WIKI)
16 Jul '13 Citi Per AA Instant Approval (Top choice in WIKI)
28 May '13 Citi Bus AA 138 Instant Approval
10 Jan '13 Citi Bus AA 121 Instant Approval
11 Sep '12 Citi Bus AA 112 Instant Approval
28 May '12 Citi Bus AA 94 Rejection
24 Feb '12 Citi Bus AA 125 Instant Approval
23 Dec '11 Citi (2 Per) AA 20mo 14 days 2 ea Instant Approvals
21 Oct '11 Citi Bus AA 93 Instant Approval
20 Jul '11 Citi Bus Aa 144 Instant Approval
16 May '11 Citi (2 Per) AA 2 ea Rejections
I have 2 more Non - Citi Instant approvals earlier this year but the Ink Bold took 13 days for approval.
BTW the pattern is very similar for my wife except it's a "sole proprietor" business using the Business License name and SSAN.

May the odds be forever in your favor
This is serious churn during the time period which the conventional wisdom on this board is that Citi Bus AA can only be churned no frequent than 1 year apart.
What do you mean by different "name[s] on the card"?
