I did this application online thru the expired $1500 link, so maybe it somehow defaulted to the $4k offer instead? I don't mind spending another $2500 on the card, but I'd like to know if that will definitely trigger the bonus miles.
Is there any way to see what spend requirement I received without calling?

Maybe I'll try this. But I'm still concerned about bringing any attention to my accounts. If they see when checking for me that I opened 2 accounts on the same day, it won't be a good thing.

I screwed up when I clicked the application link. I meant to go for the $1500/75k business offer, but I think I clicked the $4000/75k business link instead. I didn't realize this until after I had submitted the application. I got to step three and they said they may need more info, blah blah blah.
My question is, can get them to change it to the $1500 offer? Is there any way to go about this?

I've got 2 accounts and have made multiple call ins. It is seriously nothing to worry about.

jcmitchell21: Despite your second post being very clear, it seems many people are just not getting it. Perhaps you can add the following to the very top of your post:
The best way to utilize this offer is to first apply for two personal cards simultaneously, and then apply for a business card 90 days later. If you only apply for one personal card, or a personal and a business, you will NO LONGER be able to get the other personal card!
Maybe that will stop all the screwups.

cards
I applied for two visas, and got both. I made an error on one and selected the 100K card which spans over two years to get the full 100K. The other is the 75K card (I already have the Amex).
I'm going to cancel the 100K card and just keep the 75K card. Quick question, I shouldn't be charged the annual fee right? I never saw anything saying it was waived going through the screens. I didn't see anything about the miles either, but I read earlier that there is no confirmation during the application process.

If yes, I will just spend $2000 over 4 months (that is easy 2000 dollars spending) and get the 50k miles, then cancel it, if you want to.

thanks for the info
Before you cancel the 100K card, Isn't just spend $2000 over 4 months you will still get first 50k miles? (or spending $750 for first 4 months?)

I think I was mostly concerned about having too much credit against my report. I normally use credit cards as charge cards and pay off the balances at the end of the month, but doesn't your score take a hit if based on your credit limits? I have no cc debt but the credit scoring has always been a mystery to me.
Thanks
Thanks

I have had the Master Card for many years, the AMEX for about 2-3 years. Never churned Citi cards. Thinking of trying for the Visa promotion, but since I currently hold two cards I wonder if I will succeed.

Hi all,
I am a big newbie to all of this and had a question that is probably very straightforward (but I somehow couldn't find the answer to by backtracking in this thread)
I currently have the Citi Visa Signature card (and have had it since last May). I've probably spent well over $10,000 using it but I want to cancel before I have to pay the $85 annual fee.
My question is--if I already hold this card, can I still get the miles bonuses if I apply for the AMEX or the Business cards? On the promotion it says this offer is only for "first time Citi/AAdvantage members"
Thanks! I love this forum!
