Possible DC is different since it's technically cash back. I wouldn't risk it though. I'm sure others will chime in if I'm wrong.
A couple corrections. Each of the AA cards has its own 48 month rule (can't get a bonus if you have received a bonus on that specific card in the last 48 months). Certain TYP products (Prestige, Premier, Preferred, and Rewards+) have a family 24 month rule, where you can't get a bonus if you have received a bonus or closed any of those cards in the last 24 months. Double Cash, Custom Cash and AT&T cards earn TYP but are not included in this family rule.
