Congratulations. How did you come to 200,000 miles. Also please let us know how / when received.
Datapoint
Applied for the personal card about 9 days ago and got to screen #3. Keep calling the 800# and no record of my application (but to wait up to 2 weeks for processing).
Applied for business card a day or two ago and got immediate approval.
Checked the personal line tonight and learned that my personal app has been approved. Yeah!
I had a Citi AAdvantage MC that I closed sometime last fall (November I'm guessing). I did spend quite a bit on that card so that may have influenced their decision to approve my app.
200k miles here I come!

Business Card Question
I have had a number of Citi AA cards in the past; however I would really like to get in on this 75,000 mile offer. After reading numerous posts, it seems like my best chance at getting another AA card is to sign up for a business account, although I do not have a business. If I sign up for a business account as a Sole Proprietorship, what should I put down for my occupation? I am actually retired, but I'm not sure if I should put down that I'm retired.

This is one reason why I love FT...
...even if it makes me mad sometimes 
A few weeks after I was approved for the 35K mile offer, the 75K and 100K offers showed up! If I just waited a few weeks...
Seems from this informative thread so far that if someone who already HAS the card (and subsequently got the promo miles) has little chance in being able to take advantage of the additional offers...unless they still manage to get a direct invitation from Citi.

Went for the bus card but got the dreaded we'll get back to you message. Have had the personal visa and MC (still have the MC). I have hit the cards hard lately due to all the Chase offers but credit score still in the 780-790 range.
The wife is going to go for the bus card now.
What do people put in for business income?

I've looked through pages and pages of this thread (but not all, so could be missed). Can someone please advise me? My daughter received the 35k offer. She has her card but not yet activated. She just received the 50k offer in the mail (same Visa Signature card). Is there a chance that they will switch the current card to the higher offer?

Thanks for all the info in this thread. My story and a question below:
I applied for business card and was approved after calling with app ID. I do have a personal citi AA MC that is 11 months old. This is my 4th citi card overall, btw.
I also applied for a business card for my wife and she did not get an app ID and calling did not help. I assume that is in snail mail limbo.
Based on this thread, I doubt I'd be approved a personal citi AmX since I have the personal citi AA mastercard open (bonus for 1st timers only, blah blah blah).
I would like to apply for a personal citi Amx for my wife and get another 75k. She does have a citi AA MC, but its the non-annual fee version getting 1 mile per $2 spend. And she has had the card since 2005. Any thoughts on whether she would be denied based on that crappy card (not being a first time applicant)? Also, should I wait until the business card app is resolved before applying for a personal card? Not sure if the dual applications would matter.

Your 11-month old MC AA didn't stop you from being approved for business and shouldn't be the reason you'd be disapproved for personal. It's the new business card that might stop you from being approved for a new personal.
Would have been best to do two apps at once as those seem to get through. But certainly worth a shot, many people have gotten a 2nd card days later.
