She just received a targeted mailer offering 50K miles after $3K spend in 3 months. The T&C state that "This offer is only valid for new accounts". There is no mention of the 24 month restriction.

I called Citibank and was told she can get the card but is not eligible for the miles. I then read the wiki (yes, I should have gone there first:)) and saw that the invite code may provide a loophole. Should we just rely on the wiki and apply? We don't want the card without the miles, nor do we want the credit pull. I'd call Citi again, but I was on hold for nearly 30 minutes and would like to avoid repeating that if I can.

Hi Guys, I canceled both citi singature visa and citi amex (the ones that worked with 2 browser) on 12/2014. Cards were open 10/2012. Will I get the AA 30K bonus airlines again? 18 or 24 months since cancellation or?

This is discussed in detail in the wiki at the top of this page. (Not viewable in mobile interface; must use desktop mode, aka "full site.") See FAQ #1.

Based on that, regardless of when the cards were open/closed, because it is a different product line. I am thinking that you are probably eligible for the 30,000 bonus. Anyone have different thoughts?

Thanks, I read it and its a bit confusing for the 24 months is the period but how do I know if those are the same products? TIA

Products:

Personal - Platinum MC, Gold MC, Executive MC, AmEx, Visa
Business - MC

You can no longer get AmEx or Visa cards, so they have no effect on new applications until they are converted to MC, which they will be converted to.

Thanks guys, so I guess since none of the ones I had was a MC, it does not matter, since visa and amex are closed and they are not the same products, timing is irrelevant, correct? TIA

P.S. Just found old mailers for shredding for 40 and 50K points.

Not necessarily so-in the few times I have not gotten instant approval, I have always avoided calling in and have ultimately received the "you are approved" email within a week or so.

My preference is to have as little interaction with reps as possible.

Guess it's a matter of style, but
Calling , and also follow up calling , makes it faster. Then starting the spend ASAP , thus being able to apply again sooner with confidence IME.
