I churn cards with Citi AAdvanatge for the past couple of months...Here is what happened...

I applied to the AA 25th anniversary in May and got approved...then a better offer came along, I applied, got rejected and was told it was an "internal" issue" -- 60 day crap.

Anyway, I did not apply for another card till August...approved...

Now that is two cards from May-Aug -- Just for fun, I did it on online...I now have gone thru 2 cards from Aug-Oct and have another one in the pipeline...just got approved a few days ago...so that it makes it 3 cards from Aug-Oct and will apply for another one in 7-10days as I close the current one tomorow.

so, the 30/60 day rule is not steadfast since I keep consolidating the credit lines into the Chairman Card so, I do not keep the accts open for more than a month....

Maybe this is because of the consolidation .....
