So I just app'd for the Exec, called in, and was approved. The email says "Your account is considered open as of today, 10/20/15."

As far as cancelling and having the AF refunded, is it 37 days after account opening, or 37 days after AF posts that the full amount ($450) gets refunded?

I want to open a Citigold and fund it with this Exec (due to the high CL granted, and the high spend required), but I've heard that I need a AA Plat. I was also planning on that anyway, since I have a 50K offer, but need to wait 8 days. I want to make sure I'm not going to jeopardize getting the AF refunded on the Exec by waiting over a week to app for the AA Plat in order to confirm my eligibility for the Citigold 50K offer......
