Good point of course, but in my case, in order to have as much time to finish the $250 statement credit spend on the first card I'm wanting to wait to apply for the second one until just before the first card's AF is due. So it amounts to the same thing. Only potential problem is Citi has been dropping and then reinstating the sign up bonus for TYPs cards, so there is no guarantee of a bonus when I need it. Still between the $250 statement credit and the $100 credit for renewing Global Entry my entire $350 AF will have been refunded even if there is no bonus next year. Worst I can do is break even.
