Oh well, I guess I can try for the business card in a week, and personal again in 6 months.
Why bother with the Plat card? Wait 8 days, assuming no other recent Citi apps, and apply for the 100K mile Exec card. Double the pleasure, double the fun.

You can even do $4K of that spend for free with Amazon payments if you apply in the middle of the month. If you don't know how to do that, PM me.
