That is not correct. If you have a friend or relative who receives a mailed or e-mailed Citi offer but is not interested in using it and passes it on to you, you can use it. They are not restricted to the person they are sent to, and for these 'targeted' offers there is no 48-month limitation.
Today's posts in this thread are sometimes ambiguous in their use of the word "account". Are we talking about opening multiple AAdvantage accounts and receiving bonuses on each of them; or about opening multiple CC accounts under the same AAdvantage number and SSN using offers sent to other AAdvantage accounts? The latter seems to me to be a non-issue, but who knows---it DOES bypass the 48-month rule.

Yes, of course, subject to the clarifying word I added to the quote.
