Alright, I just put $1500 of purchases (thanks US Mint!) on my AA card. Do I have to do anything now, or just wait until the next statement comes out? Does it have to be over $1500 or is exactly $1500 okay?

Why not charge a few extra bucks on something you would spend on anyway?

In another thread, posters claimed Citi may send you a 1099 form for bonus miles earned (which are valued at 2.5 cents/mi.) So for 75K miles, that's $1875 in "income" earned. If this is true, why wolud anyone do this offer? Can anyone who got the 75K miles in 2010 comment on this? Those people would know by now since tax day is almost here. Thanks in adv.

Not true, Bonus miles are not taxable.
Some miles maybe taxable if it's in lieu of interest for savings or checking accts( 1099) but not 100% sure on this, perhaps others may know. I only have it with Bank Direct and their miles are still tax free (for now)

Business Credit Card- denied- what to provide?
I applied for the business card before reading some of the helpful advice threads as to how to do it. I used the name of the company I work for and was denied due to not enough information about the company. Can I send an update and just use my name and SS# this time? Or is it too late?

Did 2 for my dad, didnt use two browsers, and prob should have. Had to call in, got both approved. Limits are quite low, but dad dont care as he only uses cards for miles (i guess thats my fault). 1 Visa-Sig and 1 Amex. Confirmed both will get 75k mile bonus with $1500 spend in 6 months.

Which tele # did you call to get the Amex (I assume personal card) for the $1500 spending. I couldn't find any working #.
Thanks

I just applied for the Capital 1 card last week and that resulted in a mandatory 3 credit pulls from 3 agencies and also applied for Chase card for another airline resulting in another credit pull.
Am I over the limit for credit inquiries( meaning will I get denied) if I want to apply for 2 personal Citicards this week? Thank you for any information as I don't want to apply and have no chances of getting the cards at this point.

Applied for and got 3 cards awhile ago - Personal for me and my wife and a Business for me.
Hit the spend on all three almost immediately. My wife's bonus miles posted a week ago and I'm still waiting for the other two which clearly hit the spend level before hers. Called AA and they said 6-8 weeks. Tried to ask if my wife's was the error or mine but got nowhere except they did acknowledge that both cards were attached to my AA account.
Anyone else seen this? How long is it taking for most people to get their bonus miles posted? Thanks.
