Applied for a Platinum 'World' card Feb 2015 and it was converted to a Platinum 'World Elite' May 2015. Applied for another card with link 4c today and had to call in... yes someone was answering the phone on Thanksgiving! Moved some credit line around and was approved with the 50K point offer. Will confirm when I get my card and letter in the mail.

I have looked around and haven't found a clear answer. Does bank accounts with Citi count towards the 1,8, 60 rule? I recently did the execute and citigold checking account and was hoping to do the platinum again but wasn't sure if the checking account would be counted in the wait period. Thanks for the insight.

My question is as follows, assuming my Plat W #2 gets converted to WE, does closing Plat WE #1 (or even Plat WE #2) affect the churn on a future Plat W #3?

I sent sm's last night requesting the additional 10k miles for dh and I. They sent me the "10k mile adjustment will be included in the total monthly mileage on your statement within 1-2 billing periods" reply but nothing for dh yet. Both cards were approved in the 3rd week of October. Dh's PS was converted to WE, the day AFTER I applied for the business card, which is pending, in his name. Has anyone been approved for the business card while a spouse has one at the same address?
ETA: He received a response stating they'd add the 10k miles by the next billing statement.

Thanks! I was looking for someone to give me tips on how to request this offer. Is it still for $3k spend?

Just another data point here for Citi Business Platinum Master Card.
I closed the same Business card in the 2nd half of Sept after almost 1 year of holding it. Just applied again on Monday 11/30, did Not get instant approval, but called again and confirmed they just approved it today. 50K miles offered with $3K spending. I applied using Business card link (G) in the wiki.
So if anyone can help me out -- is this business card good for the 60K miles? I think I read around the last few pages here that the 60K is for personal card.
Thanks

Yes, it has been the practice in my household. In fact, me and wife rotate through a few business cards in each year at the same address. But we did not apply at the exact dates, just space out a few months to each other, and close the card once the 1 year annual date is near.

Was successful via Citi to approve the match request for both cards. Same spend requirements but they said they will deposit 10k miles in 1-2 billing cycles (even though I am still in month one of the cycle and have not met the spend yet)

Mailed 60k invitation to family member--can you use instead?
Someone posted awhile back that you could take the mailed invitation for someone else---use the correct zip code and invite # - and apply for the card as if you were the person who received that direct mailing. Has anyone done this?
I have a direct mailing for my daughter for 60k offer that expires 12-31...and if my 3rd World is converted to WE before this date...was thinking about trying it. However I was successful in getting Citi to match this offer via SM for my current World card---so it may not even matter (trying to make the deadline of 12-31---current card probably won't even be converted to WE by then anyway)
Just curious for future opportunities.

My 18 months have passed since closing my Gold AA card. My question is the 25,000 miles sign up bonus the best we can expect to see from Citi or does anyone remember them running any past specials for 30 or 35k ?

I think the best public offer for awhile has been 25k, i would apply for the 25k offer, wait for the card to covert from W to WE and apply again if you don't mind the HP.

60k Bonus experience
This is my experience for the additional 10K bonus:
Hi,
I was approved for account ending xxxx with a 50k signup bonus, I was wondering if you can match my account with the current 60k offer.
Thank You
