This year she applied with Chase in March, Amex in April and chase in May. A card was issued each time with automatic approval. In May she was added as an AU on another Amex. Today she was auto denied for the Citi AA business. We spoke to recon rep and while very polite both ways, business income was legit, income was more than adequate for a citi card, rep insisted to review the denial letter. Any insight?
The mistake is " business income was legit"

Perversely, you will find it easier to be approved with a business that you created just that minute - 0 years, 1 employee, 0 income.
