Then churn away. Get a Citi Business AA Platinum MC and Citi Business AA Platinum Visa. Open another Citi personal AA Platinum World MC and the Citi AA Select AMEX. That would give you 80k miles almost immediately. If you make use of the 20,000 bonus options on each card you could get another 80,000 points by the end of your second year for a total of 160,000.

If you apply...only do 2 personal cards within 60 days. I am not sure about the business cards.
