For previous aa cardholders.
Would citibank deny the bonus miles after a few weeks for violating the terms even though you've been approved?
This happened to many of us who applied for the chase united 50k offer. Chase sent out a bonus denial letter before the first statement.

IIRC no one yet to report getting an actual card from Citi but not getting the bonus associated with it. Though, some reported having instant approval for an AA card just to be denied later by mail (not even getting the card).

Didn't you have previous cards on June 10? The next 60 days would have been from June 10. Isn't that the reason for rejection on the July 17 app was the 60 days rule? Now because you did one on July 17, the clock was moved to Jul 17. You can read the Sticky in the Other Credit Card Forum - the 60 / 90 days rules obviously still the same despite many other things have changed since the Sticky was made.
You can always try but why risk the high probability of being rejected and thus pushing the clock further when the offer is good till Oct 31?

Sorry, I asked them and the apps for the two prior were in mid-May although not used until June. So it's just one app in last 60 days. I plan to cancel those two tomorrow and as part of the retention discussion ask about getting the Visa which I've never had. I'll only do a new app if they sound encouraging. Otherwise I'll wait.

First time Citi AA user. I just applied for the 100k personal visa and didn't get instant approval. Supposedly I'll get a decision by email within a week. I want to do the 75k amex as well. Is it better or worse to apply for it today? Maybe I should wait for the decision on the visa? I got the SPG amex just 30 days ago and I'm afraid that my chances on instant approval for the AA Amex are low.

Okay newbie here with a few questions.
I have never had a Citi AA card, but do a have a regular Citi Mastercard. I belong to AAdvantage, and got a targeted 30k offer.
I understand there are links that are for specific offers and should therefore "bypass" my targeted offer amount. I do not have a business and so would be looking at personal acct. only.
However which card offer should I apply for?
Can I apply for 2 personal cards at the same time?
Would be great if I could get the 50/100k offer and the 75k! Thanks!

One more data point. Got declined for not being a 1st time AA CitiCard holder. No current AA Citi cards and last AA canceled in April '10.

If you'd like to check your credit before applying....
FYI. If you are curious on how your credit looks like, Equifax is offering a free 3-in-1 Credit Report with Score for Free ($39.95 value) when you enter code ESA3BSF during checkout. I got this from SD.
Hope that helps..

I applied just last week for the 30+5 AA card. I was two days late for the 75K or 50+50 offer. I received my card on Sat. I have never had an AA card in my life. So I called customer service three times and after finally getting a rep stateside that understood my question she told me the following. She said I could fax a letter and a copy of the offer to customer service and see what they can do. She said she wouldn't promise anything. She said it could take 30 days too. Anyone ever have experience with this?
On the following day last week I applied fir the business card for 35K which is still under review. After speaking to the customer service twice about that I was advised since a decision has not been made yet I could cancel my application and be eligible if I reapply under the 75K link. So I canceled my application and I will wait until the beginning of Oct to apply for the biz card.

Just remember the Equifax score is a FAKO score (Fake) not a FICO score. They won't release your FICO score any more so you can only buy a number they made up and almost nobody actually uses to make a determination.
