ALL Citi HHonors application links are now DEAD.
Citi's contract to issue Hilton co-branded cards ends December 31, 2017. Citi will sell most accounts to American Express. The criteria for determining which accounts are eligible to be sold are unpublished. Read Hilton FAQ: http://hiltonhonors3.hilton.com/en/e...-card-faq.html .

I GUARANTEE This is the issue but it's NOT just with Citi unless you broke the 8/65 rule. See what the letter says.

I applied for the 75K application link above without the 24 mo. language three separate times: 7/21/2016 (approved), 8/25/2016 (approved), and 10/4/2016 (denied - immediate). Those were my only Citi applications.
I finally got the denial letter and it says they can't approve it because:
Has anyone run into this before? According to excel I was free and clear of 8/65. Could I have hit some other limit I'm unaware of?
I finally got the denial letter and it says they can't approve it because:
You have submitted multiple applications for credit

Stop calling reps and wait for the letter! Then come back and please tell us exactly (word for word) what the letter says. Thanks.

Citi should be shot. 
That is so tersely useless, it could mean "you've submitted too many applications for credit for us" or it could mean "you've applied for too many credit cards from banks include us as well as other banks".
And it gives no timetable.
Who in the (FT) world has not submitted multiple applications for credit, if you go back far enough in time?
If just submitting multiple applications for credit, over any amount of time, was really disqualifying, just about no one would ever again get approved for a Citi card.
in my opinion all they really told you was: "We denied you for some reason." Period!

Yes. Scroll back to THIS post to read the full narrative, and note that other posters scolded SMR2016 for calling, but now we encourage calling?
