Does anyone know when the 6months to earn the bonus starts? I know it says 6 months, but is it from activation date or approval date. I have to spend up my cards and we will start using my wifes visa but want to get the amex and start using it 2 months down the road without missing the deal.
Thanks for your help.

Here's a tip and story for those that ever get this message from Citi and declining new credit card.
The credit privileges on your existing account(s) are currently restricted.
Turns out I had a visa simplicity card that I opened in college back in '93. I used it a lot probably until early 2000's. In 2008 they closed it for inactivity and put this restricted code on my SS number.
had to call 4 different people before supervisor approved application manually and removed this "ugly" code on my closed account.

6 months starts from date you applied or got approved.
Can you share how you spend the $4000 spend requirements?
thanks

If you read back through the last 4 or 5 pages it looks like it was working for sure until about 10/1 and now it is iffy and is not looking good. The last few pages of the thread are the latest info from those that have applied in the last couple days.

American Airlines / Citicard 50,000 miles sign up bonus
I know this one is not as good as the 75k sign up but this one does not expire until November 30, 2011 and the Business card link works.

I tried to submit an application through the 50,000 link but the application page automatically closes after about 75 seconds. This happened 3 different times, even after rebooting the computer. I tried another https Citi application page, same thing happened. This is the message I see after the pages close:

I just applied for the visa and the AmEx. I was approved for both. Now I just have to figure out how to check that the 75k miles promo is still working.

I'm curious as well, considering all these rejections for "terms change" (unsure whether that is referring to the offer being pulled?). I was going to include the Citi AA Biz in my churn today, debating whether to use the 75K/$4K link or the 50K/$2.5K link (the latter has a landing page, so is still a current offer).

I applied for the buisness card early last week and was approved on-line. Received the card this week. When I called to activate I was transferred to a CS rep who confirmed 75K bonus after a 4K spend in 6 months.

This kept happening to me when using Internet Explorer. I switched to Firefox, and had no such problem.

2 applications approved
I applied online yesterday (10/4) for both personal 75k/1.5k spend visa and personal 75k/4k spend amex. Both were marked application received. I called today (1-866-606-2961) with the application #s from yesterday and verified correct offer and got both approved after moving credit limit from previous citi cards.
I was worried, because I hadn't heard any successes in October, but can verify that the deal is still on. ^
