Yes, but you need to be careful on the application dates and wait to apply for a second card.
In April 2007, I applied and received for a Citi AAdvantage Business Mastercard. I met the mininum spending amount and got the 15,000 (not certain on the miles) bonus miles. I applied for the Citi AAdvantage Business Visa shortly thereafter. I was disapproved by letter referencing that I must wait 90 days (not certain, may have been 60 days) before applying for another BUSINESS card. Next month, I will reapply for the Citi AAdvantage Business Visa card.
My suggestion, apply for the many other Citi AAdvantage products that offer no fee first year cards with 15,000 to 20,000 bonus milies.

The Terms and Conditions for each offer are posted online and say...
This offer is available only if the Business does not already have a CitiBusiness® Card and, within the previous 90 days, has not applied for or received a CitiBusiness® Card.
This offer is available only if the Business does not already have a CitiBusiness® / AAdvantage® Visa® and, within the previous 90 days, has not applied for or received a CitiBusiness® / AAdvantage® Visa®.
This offer is available only if the Business does not already have a CitiBusiness® / AAdvantage® MasterCard® and, within the previous 90 days, has not applied for or received a CitiBusiness® / AAdvantage® MasterCard®.
A literal side-by-side reading of the entire set means that a business cannot hold multiple accounts of the "identical" card and cannot apply again for 90 days after applying for the "identical" card. However, it looks as if the text has simply been created by replacing "Card" with the name of the specific product and that what Citi intends is that a business cannot hold more than one "identical" card and cannot apply for more than one "business" card in a 90 day period.

A couple of saved links I have for the VISA card are now showing $750 purchases to get the miles - if I have to , I will get that one - but if anyone has a $250 link for VISA, kindly appreciated.

Ripper...
The link for the $250 is still coming up now (July 8th) with the APR listed "as of July 1, 2007... yet the fine print for the bonus miles is stating valid through 6/30... wonder if it's "still good"? Right now I'm waiting for last "round" of bonus miles to post. AA seems to be updating accounts now so we'll see how the "family" has made out this month.
