I have read the FAQ multiple times and I still can't reconcile #1 with #2. I got the citi AA mastercard about a month ago, waited 8 days and was then denied for the citi AA visa for being an existing customer. Is there any way to get another 50k bonus? Which card do I apply for and when? I have no other citibank cards and have not had one for probably 15 years.

I reached $3k spend on day my statement closed, which was a couple days ago. I now have 53066 points in my AA account.
