Go ahead and apply for a second card. The odds of the CSR asking why you want two of the same card are less than 1%. If they do, of course you already know the correct answer, but they will almost certainly not even ask.
Wife just got 2nd card approved over the phone. The agent who spoke to her clearly knew there were 2 applications and the 1st one was approved. Nevertheless, got the 2nd one approved without much hassle. No talk about the signup bonus. So hopefully it will post.
Dont cancel the 1st before applying for the 2nd. Chances are the 2nd wont come with the 100k (no one knows yet) and you may want to cancel the 2nd one, and keep the 1st one, if this happens. Also too early to saw if Citi will clawback miles upon cancellation.
