Are you saying that if I closed my Citi AA about 4 months ago, it's tough to churn now even with a different FF number?

[AsherO]

is AA 50K still available?

I think so, backdoor links anyway.

Who said anything about poshut? I can always rack up some TYP in case they ever come around again with mileage transfers.

That's probably the hardest churn out there today.

More than BA?

I'd say just a lot of new accounts/inquiries.

Tough enough that I wouldn't expect approval, especially not after only four months.

arent the reports saying that 18 months is enough?

[YudiG]

Did you get shutdown by amex or preempt by closing yourself? four months is kind of short...I've been waiting a year and am getting itchy especially since I have a good spg invite offer they sent...

Should we just both go for it and pray?

seems to be that you need to wait over a year to get a new one approved

A new FFN does nothing for Citi.

I closed 6 of 7 cards preemptively (see my link above to the Amex FR thread for the details), I was hoping they'd let me keep the 1 account I left open, in retrospect that wasn't such a smart idea...

+1, with 8 active Chase cards, applying and/or getting approved for another several cards (even from other banks) would definitely risk being A/A'd IMHO. That's especially so if you apply with Chase after the others, as the recon agent (which you'll almost surely need) will likely see the pulls/new accounts. However, even if you apply for Chase before the others, there is still a risk that during a subsequent account review (soft pull), they may discover the new pulls/accounts and freak A/A ch'v.

So if I want to stay with Chase no more churning for me ever? How long should I wait, or does that depend on how Chase A/A policies play out (i.e. see if it gets better/worse)?

[AJK]

I'd say the latter. It just seems like skating on thin ice in the current environment and not worth the risk. To be sure, I'm not saying you can never sign up for another Chase card. Nor am I saying that if you do, you'll get A/A'd (what do I know?). All I am saying is that if you absolutely have to satiate the credit card application bug (which I certainly understand as I'm getting ready for my own AOR), I'd definitely, definitely stay the heck away from 11 new card applications.
