Can I get point bonuses from both a CitiBusiness card AND from Citi new checking?
I just got a Citi Business Aadvantage Platinum Select with a 70,000 bonus (didn't get it yet, have 3 months to spend). I also saw there is a Citi checking account promotion for 40,000 points if you keep $15,000 in a new checking account for 90 days. The latter would be a personal account. However, they both would link to the same AA#.
Then, I read the fine print and saw this:
"Unless expressly prohibited, Eligible Customers can participate in other Citibank American Airlines AAdvantageŽ promotions which award miles; however, no Eligible Customer can be awarded more than 60,000 AAdvantageŽ miles total (multiple awards allowed) within any 365 day period."
Thoughts? Has anyone done both, or two similar promotions?
Thank you

A work around to this is to open a business credit card and a personal checking account or vice versa. Side note: you could open a personal card and a business card and still qualify. My wife and I did the personal card and business card trick (no bank account promotions) with no issues in receiving miles.
but of course still linked to the same AA account. The checking account would definitely be personal. If you did both personal and biz on the same AA account then it sounds OK to do.
