The Post No.2 is so clearly written with 1,2,3,4 etc steps written out in clear English that it is very difficult for me to understand why anyone who claimed they had read it would have any difficulty to understand it.

Worse, they would lie about they had read it when being told to do so - however based on their initial posts, it is so clear that they have never bothered to read it, at least never read it carefully because it is beyond reasonable that anyone would have mis-read the wordings in Post No.2.

Then they have the nerve to claim they dont have the time - so their time is more valuable than others and they are entitled to others spoon feed the answers to them...

The not reading part is bad enough, the blatant lying to cover one's act is much worse.

Welcome to FT! And thank you for your insightful first post!

Yes, it is at own's benefit to actually read Post No.2, not to mention the benefit to the whole thread that really valuable new data posts would not get buried in all the repetitive questions that can easily be answered simply by reading the very clearly written instructions in Post No.2.

hi all
i'm new to this so sorry if this is a question with an obvious answer.

i have good credit and wanted to take advantage of the deal is post #2 to maximize my miles. i applied through the links in post #2. each time i applied i recieved an error message that didn't indicate whether or not the application went through, so i applied multiple times, clearing the cookies prior to each. well it turns out at least some of the applications went through. i recieved 2 e-mails and 3 letters rejecting me for applying for multiple lines of credit. however i also recieved 2 approvals for the visa and have just recieved 2 new different numbered visa signature cards with my name on it. i haven't called to activate these cards yet.
so what's next? can i activate both cards and get 150,000 miles? the spending requirement won't be an issue. is it limited to one offer per name?
thanks

Sit tight until early next week. As post #2 says, "Takes about a week to get your card." If you get denied, post #2 says, "If denied for reasons other than "only for first time cardholders", you can contact Citi through mail or phone and ask them to reconsider or negotiate your approval. If lower level CSRs can't help you, contact the following: CitiBank Executive Review Department, P.O. Box 6000, Sioux Falls, SD 57117."

It took me about a week to ten days to get my card. Citi may ask that you forward them some information to confirm your business--Citi contacted me by phone and email with a request to provide this information. I agreed to send it, and then even before I got the information to them, they notified me that they had approved my application.

They're big, they move slow, and sometimes things fall between the cracks. I wouldn't be in a hurry to contact them, but I'd set a reminder for early next week just to check on the status of your application.

Siamcamp welcome to FT.
As far as I can tell from reading a lot of these posts that those who were lucky enough to get two of the same cards were able to activate each one (with a different phoen call) and were able to verfy during activation that 75k per 1500 spend and then actually got it.
I would consider yourself lucky and have a good time on vacation using the 150k miles from Citi

When you call to activate - confirm the spend and bonus. My spend on the Visa was 4K. wj

My dad could have written this exact post 5 months ago.... he did, and did although he had to fight a little for the second 75K.

My wife got denied for having max credit per customer clause. CSR said to reapply after closing an account/reducing credit line. She said there is no way to reopen/reconsider a denied application.

Any suggestions? Should she reapply?

Did you call the regular customer service line or the reconsideration line in post #2?

I would do these things:

(1) Call the reconsideration number in post 2 if you haven't already
(2) Call back again and discuss with another rep, specifically offering to MOVE credit line from an existing card(s) to the new one
(3) Send a postal letter to the address in post 2 offering to do that
(4) Wait a few months and try applying again

If I have a legit business, do I still need to wait 60 days?

yes

Applied for Citi 75k Personal offer on 8/2. Received card on 8/8. Called CSR and they confirmed cheerfully that I would receive 75k miles with 1.5k spend in 6 mo. Going for citi business after 2 months. Cheers.

lwildernorva

Did you get one personal card or two? If one, you can apply for the business card before 65 days are up. The 65-day window applies to those who got two personal cards. See post #2 for further details. Of course, if you're waiting so that you can spread out the spending requirements, then no need to rush.

I left open the window with my code/number in it for too long and it timed out, now I don't have the number. I did write down the code I'm supposed to give them when I call in for further review. I don't remember it, it was 1-866 number. Can anyone point me to where I might find it? The 866-449-2484 number that's the general service number for AA cards asks that I enter a credit card number immediately, which I obviously don't have yet at this point.

Thanks if anyone can help!
