In our case a business checking account statement, a residential landline phone bill that is in applicant's spouse's name, and a joint saving account bank statement that tie all together, i.e. both names on the statement and all 3 have the same address. Faxed in on 11/08, status changed to approval 11/12. Congrat email came the following week.

I applied last night and I was wondering what the next step in the process is. This is my first application that wasn't an automated response, this the uncertainty. Do I call CITI now and find out if I was approved, wait for an email (which I prompted was ok), or just wait and see if my card comes in the mail?

Thanks.

Does anyone know if the 100K link still gives you 100K?
It does not say anything on the application about how many miles is the bonus signup...

It took a week to get a letter stating I was approved. 2 days after that my card arrived.

If you have had an AAdvantage card before, I would wait. Otherwise they may deny you based on first time only. If you have never had an AAdvantage card before, and you are anxious to hear the results, you can call after a couple of days to see if you can find anything out. They may say it is in process and to wait, or they may have questions to ask you. If you wait you usually get a letter or a card within about 10 days.

I don't believe there ever was an application that listed the 100k on the application itself. Most who used those links in this thread were able to confirm the 100k offer after they were approved. So you had to take a little risk. You can read many stories about that in the early pages of the thread.

It would be nice to know if someone took the risk to apply under the 100K links after 10/31 and whether they got the offer or not.

How long does it take the miles to be posted? I met my spending limit on 11/19 but nothing yet. The statement closes on Dec. 10, 2010, do I need to wait for that?

Mine showed up for the 75K about a day after the statement closed.

And will it be 2 hard pulls on my credit report or just 1.

It can, and then you have a mess. YOu should sign up for AAdvantage before you apply and put that $ on the application

If you apply for a personal and a business, it is 2 hard pulls. If you apply for 2 personals at the same time, you get 2 hard pulls. But correct me if I am wrong, but the credit bureau will combine the 2 personal pulls into 1 since it is from the same company on the same day.

I did. Applied in early November, got approved for the personal AmEx for me and my husband. I called and confirmed the bonus offers on both cards before we got them in the mail. I called today to find out when my statement closes and reconfirmed again the bonus offer with the agent. Every time they say the same thing - $750 spend in the first 4 months for 50K, $10K spend in 12 months for the other 50K. He has already met the $750 spend, so I guess when the miles post then it will be actual confirmation that the offer was valid.

Edit: Just applied for the biz card with the 100K link and got the "Further processing is required at this time. We will contact you within a week via email regarding our decision" message. I do have a legit business but this is the first year of its operation and I have no credit cards or loans associated with it yet.

Edit again: D'oh. I guess I was supposed to wait 60 days AFTER applying for the personal before applying for the business. I don't know why I had stuck in my head that it had to be within 60 days. Just got a little application happy and didn't get a chance to digest this thread in its entirety. If I get denied then oh well, I guess have all of next year to try again for whatever new offers will come around.

Will still keep fingers crossed...
