(I posted this in the Executive CC thread but didn't get a response)

I applied for the Citi Exec AA card and was denied for too many recent inqueries (8 or 9 Experian in last 6 mo; every bank except Barclay pulls it here). I knew this was a risk but the deal was too good to pass up.

Interestingly, one CSR said if inquiries disappear from the credit report, I can send the new report to Citi for reconsideration. Has anyone done that with success? 2 inquiries will indeed pass the 6 mo threshold in a few days, so I am hopeful.
