Yes. My reason for slowing down was 90% because of an odd experience that made me fear I was attracting too much attention from Citi and 10% because I am finding it harder to hit the minimum spend 2 x 33 days for H and W plus occasional apps for two others in our circle, The auto-approval is just a small side bonus for me. A little more than that for my wife who hates calling but does it when necessary.

My odd experience was getting a call asking not just "did you apply" but also where (which computer, home or office) did you apply from. Followed by, have you applied for anyone else. The rep noted multiple apps for different people from the same ip address. It spooked me a little. Since then the auto approvals have been a welcome change. As of now, I'm going to stick with 1 app every 65 days for me and one for my wife (and we are spaced almost a month apart, so it ends up being 1 app per month, more or less) mostly because I'm not sure how much minimum spend I can do and want to do, but I can see myself moving to a shorter wait time at least occasionally. I hate to leave points on the table by applying too slowly, and we never know when this might end.
