With the biz card isn't there also a time needed since you closed your last biz card? Maybe that's where the 60 days is coming from.

Got the 75k bonus
I received my 75k bonus related to a new personal Citi AA Amex card. I applied back in February.
After applying, I re-read the terms, and saw that the promotion was for first time card Citi AAdvantage cardmembers. I have an active personal Citi AA MasterCard - which I've had for just about 20 years - and use regularly. Both cards have the same SSN and AA numbers associated with them.
I didn't think I'd get the bonus...but turns out I did.^
YMMV.

Does the ~65 day rule apply only within 1 bank or it is across banks. For example, if one applies for 2 cards with one bank can he also apply for a third card issued by another bank withing 60 days? Ty.

Denied?
I applied last week for the AMEX and VISA and haven't heard about the first but in regards to the visa I just got this message:
"Unfortunately, we are unable to approve the application at
this time because:
o You have submitted multiple applications for credit"
... I can't believe it... but I did I apply for two at once. But I understand many of you guys did as well. Did any of you through this first?
My credit score is good, 740 (Though I have an error being disputed (it says i have 4k limit when i have 15k with chase)). This is my 5th and 6th hard pull on the record (in the last two years) and I did BA may 5th and one in early april.
I have NO citibank accounts or cards.
I'm a little surprised but what do you think my odds are of over turning this?
Any suggestions for calling, i have no other limits to lower with Citi to negotiate.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

75k Visa Business, Approved again
Applied last August for a 100k/$10k spend card for my primary business. Also applied the same day for the personal amex. Too bad it wasn't clear back then that you could get two personals through in 1 day. I've never been able to get the visa personal for myself.
Applied 2 days ago for a 75k/$1.5k spend card for my second business. Received pending but called in this morning and it was approved. As an aside, I also applied for the Citi 40k Hilton personal card on the same day and was instantly approved.
Both businesses have separate tax id's and real revenue.
That brings us (DH and me) to 6 Citi AA cards under the 75k or 100k promos. Amazing.
Still waiting to hear on my Chase Sapphire Preferred card (50k) from Saturday. Nice round of apps.

From my post last week: 19 May - I can confirm that the 50/50 biz Visa is still working. I just got approved CSR confirmed bonus/spend levels as mentioned above. Funny thing - the CSR was surprised by the mileage!
Edit - I forgot to add: I have both personal AA Visa/AMEX (50/50) and another Biz Visa (50/50) for a different Biz. Have had each since late last year. All are still active. 300k+ posted, now going for another 100k - thanks FT!!!!

Maybe things have changed recently for the better?
