I'm in the process of buying a plane ticket and while I was in the shopping cart for the ticket, there was just a generic offer for the 40kmi/ $100 statement credit for $3k spend. It was not a targeted ad that I got in an email or in the physical mail. I was, however, logged into my AA account, but I don't know if that makes a difference. I applied online and was told to call a number to check in on my application. After speaking to the agent, it turns out I wasn't immediately qualified (hence having to call) was because they wanted to know if I wanted to move around some credit balance from my other Citi card (I have another Citi card, a cash rewards card that I got like 12 years ago that I still use to this day). I was all but approved but I wanted to read up on the card and asked them to put my app on hold for the time being.

So then I called back later asking to make sure that I'd still receive the bonuses even though I had closed a Citi Aadvntage card in June 2015 (which is within the 24 month timeframe). She said that she could see that I had closed that card, but that the offer still showed as being available on my application, so she said that it looks like I'll still get the bonus. But I don't have this in writing per se, what I do have is that when I applied for the card online, it said very plainly that if I had opened or closed an Aadvantage card within the last 24 months, that the bonuses won't go thru.

I don't want to gamble here, and would rather just wait the 6 months until I'm in the clear of the 24 months to apply again and see what bonuses will be available at that time.

Also, even though I was "approved," I can still call back and say that I don't want the card after all, right? Does that reset the clock?
