So I left it alone.
Mine was denied, I believe, because I have three new cards in the last six months (those three were all for the last 12 months, but the fact they're all more recent was likely the reason why). They added two other reasons, which were bunk, because there are always three reasons for any denial.

I was more surprised that I was denied, if anything else. I have all the top-level premium cards from all the major issuers, including Citi's previous one with their Prestige card, so it never dawned on me that I would be denied, especially instantly by whatever algorithm they use.
The letter will be coming this week, and I will be curious about the reason(s), as already mentioned, I don't have any of the usual "dings" that have been noted.
