Close it now. According to the terms you won't receive the offer on the second card if the first is still open.

I tested out the pre-approval page. Very strange. I said that I was most interested in travel benefits. The message at the top:
"_______, we couldn't match your records to a Pre-Qualified credit card offer. See below for 4 other cards you may like."
Then it shows the standard 50k offer for the Platinum Select. Then below it:
"You may also be interested in these credit cards."
And then the offers for the ThankYou Premier, ThankYou Preferred, Simplicity, and Diamond Preferred cards. They would seem to be the other 4 credit cards.
I may have opted out of receiving pre screened offers years ago on my credit report, but I have received mailers occasionally. Although it's possible that they were for standard offers, not actual pre-approvals; it's been a while so I can't remember.
Any thoughts? I should be eligible for the Platinum Select offer and planned to apply regardless of what the pre-approval page said.

5/15 - Approved for Plat W #1
7/15 - Plat W #1 converted to WE
10/15 - Approved for Plat W #2
Can i close my first Plat WE card or closing it will mess up my next W:WE conversion and churn?

But bear in mind that there is no guarantee that it will be converted to WE, and that Citi may decide to close this loophole and change it's rules to no longer consider the W and the WE to be different products.
I'd say keep it open, and hope for a conversion, but it's clearly a judgment call....

Good information! I'm nearing the end of month two so waiting (im)patiently for a conversation.

If you have opted out, my understanding is that you shouldn't ever have any pre-approved offers at banks' pre-approval sites. There might be an exception for banks at which you already do business, but I'm not sure.
I, too, opted out long ago, and have never received a pre-approved offer at any of these sites. (I have a thin credit history after living abroad for years, but all of my reports are clean and I have $0 debt.) At most, I get the "you might like ..." or "we recommend ..." language.

My last 3 platinums have posted the bonus one month late. I called the first time. After the first time, I don't bother calling. I just wait the month and the points post.

My 50,000 bonus miles posted to my AAdvantage account today, so just one day after the 3,000 miles posted. I think with every other Citi card I've had or that my wife has had (about 30 total), the bonus miles/points and the spend miles/points posted at the same time, so the lag this time surprised me. But it's good to know I don't have to call American to ask them to look into it or open a case.
