I have an email code for 50k after $2500. I applied for 65k after 4k in July. But I can't find any 65k codes in the mail. Wondering if I should hold out for 65k code or just applying using the 50k. Is the 65k mail offer dead?

We’re in a period where I wouldn’t wait around if you’ve got an emailer ready to go. 50k is better than 0k if another emailer doesn’t show up.

Thanks. The no-match policy makes you wonder whether to wait or not. I'm panicking because today is 67th day. I have the FOMO bug.

Read through the past 10-20 pages and you'll see how happy people were to have any offers at all just a couple weeks ago, and why you likely shouldn't expect anything better (or at all) to show up in the next couple weeks.Go for the 50k. Go ahead and restart the clock for your next app.

we have only seen 50k or 60k personal emailers recently.

Received a physical mailer with 9 digit code and the 48 months language. A few very very novice questions:

Is the 9 digit code transferable? The mailer is addressed to P2 but P1 flies AA more.

If the card is canceled next year, is bonus clawback a possibility? Any other downside to cancel?

I plan to use Plastiq to pay property tax to meet the msr, is that something frowned upon by Citi?


TIA!

If it has 48-month language then why would you want to use it? The only point of mailers is to avoid the 48-month language. I generally close cards 3-4 months after opening them, Citi does not clawback miles unless you seriously abuse the program (like buying $3000 worth of goods, getting miles and returning $3000 of goods). Citi does not frown on much.

Thank you!

About the 48 months language, the way I read it it means if you have received a bonus within the past 48 months you will not be eligible for this one. We have never applied for any AA cards so I am assuming we are safe. But will it restrict us if we want to apply another a year down the road?

Is the emailed offer superior to the offer you can find on the Citi or AA websites? If you are eligible it is better to apply using a public offer, because once you apply using a targeted offer (email or postal mail) you a unlikely to receive future targeted offers.

A little better but not by much. It is 65K miles on 4K spend. Used to receive 75K mailers but never applied. Maybe we should hold off for another 75K mailer then.

BTW, Mia, do you know if the 9 digit code physical mailer is transferable?

Typically, anyone can use a 9 digit offer.

If it makes it easier for you, assuming you can get 2 50k offers every 65 days and you maintain that rate indefinitely, you average ~1.5k points a day. So if you wait ten days it's not worth it by the numbers, and that is assuming you even get a 65k offer.

After you apply for your first AA card you then need a mailer or a emailer to get another personal card within 48 months of when the bonus posted. ~ 99% of the people in this thread are now using emailers to apply for AA cards

I got a letter today from Citi saying they mistakenly denied me for an AA card back in December 2018 and if I wanted to reapply again. :rolleyes:

Not me. Just used one now with instant approval.

Does citi consider product changing day Citi personal to say Citi Double Cash (now that you get two thank you points per dollar spent...) an inquiry that fits within 2/65?

Can someone direct me to the thread for AA Business cards? There is a limited time 70K miles offer, which of course has the 48 month restriction, but I've never had that card. I was wondering why I haven't seen that mentioned here, and then realized this thread is strictly for targeted offers, and this is a non-targeted offer. TIA

DP:
Another successful auto approval using 12 digit physical mailer in DWs name.
60k/3k offer.

Wow. The only physical mailers I still get are for biz cards.

I found out the answer the old fashioned way by applying on my 2/65 schedule and it did NOT impact and cause a MAC or whatnot...

When was the last email? My cousins are signing up for AA account 3 weeks ago and they have not received any email invitation.

3 weeks ago was the last time they sent out emailers, wait for the next round, probably next week.

Are e-mailers single use, or can be used again prior to expiration? I just used my first e-mailer (with a name change), and wondered if I should even try it again for another family member.

Single use. Try using it again, it shall not let you get out of first page :)

Do you guys still get approved even if you have 6 or more inquiries in the last 6 months?

All the time

Yes, I called them around Sep 5, and they told me, I will just have to wait, I applied too soon after last app; they would not process that app. I called again around Oct 5, and they read notes on the account "We told you on Sept 5 that we could not process this application. Wait a few months." No definite time line given.

ALSO, I did another E-mailer app, "new accounts only" on 9/16, and that one got MACD mailed letter also. Prior app was 8/10. That was 36 days.

It appears I am temporarily in "MACD Jail." The last time this happened to me, I believe I had to wait a full 60 days before I could get approved again. I guess I will "sit in the corner" until 11/17 or later?

Advice, anyone?

I've been signing up for a bunch of AA accounts but haven't received any more mailers. Am I doing something wrong?

it has happened to me before. Not sure what I had done but I waited the full 65 days and applied and got the first time “income documents required for approval” but eventually got approved (note: now for some reason I have gone back to auto-approve since the emailers came around!) good luck!

Is anyone out there simultaneously doing this grAAvy train and the BOFA AS business card as well? Any issues if so? With the new SQ redemption chart on AS and certain sweet spots might try...

I thought BofA was shooting down all high-volume churners like those of us who have been posting here.

Hearing still works in pockets with biz card only...I will give it a shot and be back with some DPs

With AS ditching the American partnership the AS miles will became worthless to me, I'll dump them on hotels I guess

Devalued but not worthless. I have just started using them on hotels in the last 6 months - not too bad a value when you have status with AA . Was able to score some great disney hotels for a couple of family trips that I have not been able to use points for in the past. Win -Win.

I was approved for an AS business card a few months back.

If this works, the opportunity should be posted here: Citi AA churn - impact on Amex, BoA, Chase et.al. application strategy?

Just did that last week. Applied for BoA AS business first and then Citi AA (eMailer). AS biz wasn't approved instantly but AA was. I didn't call BoA and a congratulation email came the next day. I have been with BoA for years with a healthy status. This might have had helped.
