Did you apply for the personal or business version?

Business. Wasn't aware they had a personal version.

I have added your post to the established thread discussing the Aviator Business card. Scroll back to read reports of other application experiences.

The personal Aviator Red card is discussed here:

How did you make out?

I have also added the replies from the cross-posted thread in the AA forum.

Applied on July 4th. Got the 'Under Review' message and it said they would call me on the number I provided for more info. I have not called recon yet. Currently have the personal Aviator Red, opened March 2018.

A little background: Opened (4) new cards this year; (2) personal in March (Citi AAdvantage and Aviator Red) and (2) business cards with Amex that don't report (Delta Gold and Blue Biz Plus). Only inquiry on TU in the last 6 months is from Barclay and one in December 2017 from Chase when I opened a CSP. So my reports shows me at 2/6, 3/12 and 5/24. Utilization is at 8% and FICO is at 750. I applied as a Sole Proprietor with $2,500 in revenue, which is legitimate. Have past year's 1099, website, invoices, etc.

When I applied for the Aviator Red, status was pending and I got an approval email for $20,000 about 18 hours later. Status for this Aviator Biz is still showing as under review with the 10 day message. This will be my first attempt at dealing with a recon department. I'm not super pressed for the card, just trying to stack AA miles before the signup bonus goes back down to 40K or they stop accepting new apps. I'm willing to reallocat some of the $20K from my personal Aviator, but only enough that will allow me to stay under 10% utilization. Fingers crossed.

UPDATE!

Finally approved! Don't really know what took so long but I got a call and email today that I was approved for a 5k credit line. I have had 8 new cards open in 6 months so that is probably what took them so long to determine the risk. Also not just issue a card for one purchase and giving a sign up bonus. Not going to be applying for the next 6 months and will make one purchase a month with my Aviator so I can apply for the personal card.

Having a personal Aviator reason for denial for business Aviator?
 

Mr. Bergy Bits has a personal Aviator with a $17,000 limit opened last September. Applied for the business version earlier this week, had to wait for "the letter," and the reason given for denial in the letter is "Sufficient credit is available on your account issued by Barclays Bank Delaware"

He's never been denied before for ANY reason let alone this very lame sounding one, since they aren't even the same product and the personal is his only Barclays card.

My first thought is that he just close the personal, as he has no need for it and the annual fee would be coming up in a few months anyway. And then apply for the business again? Or should he try recon, offer to reduce the limit on the personal, and see what happens that way? I'd almost prefer the cancel since it's on the "to do" list anyway but you guys often see things from different angles.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Waiting Time Between Personal and Business?
 

I have read each post, but do not recall seeing if there is a waiting period between making a Personal and Business application for the AAdvantage Aviator Cards? I see the "available for new cardmembers only" language, but am assuming that just means "for this offer" since others have attested to having both the personal and business cards.

THANKS!

Multiple Barclays business cards same day?
 

Barclays credit limit?
 

I applied on 6/16, made first purchase on 6/29 and miles posted 7/12. No AF yet.

How bad would I piss them off by closing now? Should I expect miles clawback? I have the Aviator Red Personal which I plan on keeping with the AF instead of churning mainly so I have a MC and a CC from a second bank for when I travel overseas.

did you attempt to close it and any mile clawback? I haven't seen any reports of mile clawback yet
