IMO, provided you can meet the spend grab both of them now with the CSR first and get the Citi before the link without the 24 month language expires. Once you get the Citi and activiate it SM them and ask for the 60k match and you will likely get it. Then pick up the Barclay AA card with 40k for first purchase to add another 40k AA miles to the bank.
