I've read through the thread pretty thoroughly and am pretty confident in the answer.
Recently applied and was approved for the 50k World Plat card (NOT WE); however, in the event it gets converted to a WE card, then theoretically I can re-apply for the 50k World Plat Card (assuming I dont run afoul of the 65 day rule(s)) because there are reports of it resetting the clock
two part question: (1) is my reading of thread and my theory correct? (2) Any recent reports of newly applied World cards being converted to WE?

Anyone know if we can triple-dip with the world/world elite cards (I've seen a lot of reports that it works for two cards, but not 3+)?
I just got the notice they were sending me a new card (i.e. world elite conversion), and I'm now hoping this allows me to just keep churning them out.

Hi,
Total newbie here. I opened an AMEX platinum for the 100k offer about 30 days ago. Id like to apply for either the citi aa platinum or citi executive to get the AA miles with a new citi gold account(which I will be opening after my new citi credit card)
I currently hold 2 amex credit card (costco and everyday) and 1 platinum charge card. I am thinking that I may automatically denied for the citi aa platinum due to the above mentioned rules in the wiki. Should I apply for the citi executive in lieu of the citi platinum in this instance?
any help would be much appreciated, thank you

Triple Dip
For those have done the Triple Dip, did y'all cancel the first card before doing the triple dip?
I know Citi normally does not care how many cards one has, but when the number starts to get above 6 or 7, with each one's CL is 5K or the multiples of, things become a bit less clear-cut... Some pruning would be needed.

Legit, thank you. Any guidance on going for the platinum vs the executive? I saw the wiki suggest to go with lower level cards first. The 75k offer seems better considering I'm funding a citi bank gold account shortly.

No more than 1 Citi business application in 90 days (95 to be safe).
Wouldn't they ask, you had just closed the same account? Is the identical business card churnable after 95 days? or there has to be small change from card to card like Visa, MC or Elite, Platinum, world etc

How long does it usually take to get automatically converted and is it not a good idea to proactive asked to be converted to shorten the timeframe?
Thanks very much for all tips and help. Good luck on this and have a great evening

Wiki also says, some had to totally cancel their business CC before applying in order to get approved. Does that mean, you apply for the CC, get bonus within 3 months, close the account and you can apply again after 95 days?
Wouldn't they ask, you had just closed the same account? Is the identical business card churnable after 95 days? or there has to be small change from card to card like Visa, MC or Elite, Platinum, world etc

There is only ONE version of Business card which is always YMMV from Day One as the Wiki says. Do whatever you feel comfortable with.
On top of that., since you mentioned earlier in this thread, you dont travel, then the AA card is no use to you because you cannot use it statement credit or gift card. It earns AA miles, NOT Citi points as you mentioned in your earlier post.
You also cannot "sell" the miles if you ever think about this idea. There is a long-running thread in AA forum on how AA catches people doing so (by sting operation no less).
