Received a phone call in about an hour from Citi, after responding to a text message if they can contact us.
The wife was told that she's approved but would not receive any bonus since she opened a card within a month ago. She told them to cancel the app.

Too bad I wasn't close by as I would've suggested that she let them process the app and get the card open; we would see what really happens (anecdotal evidence of CSR not knowing what they are talking about). Although I would have thought she would still have received the bonus. But that window had already closed so no data point to confirm.

Hopefully, this is just a one-off mad Citi rep for having to work on Mother's Day :P
