Sweet! It worked!
I called with no ref number and got a very helpful CSR. I already have a Hilton Reserve and AA Exec card with Citi and she even moved some credit around to get me a very decent credit limit on the new card! I'll probably close out the older Hilton card next week so I can then apply for another card!
Thanks @isle-hawg

You don't have to close, but many who don't close do lower the credit limit on cards they aren't using, to make more "free'd up" credit limit available for the next card(s).

Hi guys, have been racking up sign up bonuses whenever I can but only just discovered "churning" few days back. Help me understand something when you say
AND
Citi Hilton reserve
Amex Hilton surpass
Amex Hilton HHonors
So those cards are a one time and cant be churned right? The way to go is to apply for those 3 ONCE and churn the Citi Hilton HHonors following the dates mentioned in the very first post as many times as possible. Am I understanding it right?

As for the regular Citi HH card, some people have had as many as 20 of them, (over a period of years, of course).

Just got approved for a Reserve for myself and another no fee HH for my wife. I want to get enough HHonors points and nights to cover a week in London in August and a week in the Caribbean next winter/spring. I had 4 non-Citi pulls in the last 6 months (2 amex, 1 Barclays and one 5th/3rd), and my wife had 3 (1 of each of the cards I listed for myself). For both of us I have been applying for one Citi card per month for a long time -- mostly Execs. I always lower the CL after meeting the spend. This time my wife and I both received credit limits of $22,000. Let's keep our fingers crossed that the churnability of the HHonors cards lasts a while longer.

Yes, except that there is still a working link in the wiki above to churn the HH Res card. And you may as well keep the regular AMEX HHs card open, since there is no AF.

Question for those who have multiple Citi HHonors - and apologies if this has been said somewhere in the past - but do you create separate online accounts for each card? Or do you have a single account with multiple of the same card listed?

A single account for all of one's Citi Hilton cards.
