Citi AA Master Thread

[Dr Moose]

IIRC someone from boarding area wrote about a possible end date

[DBK]

It was posted on a different blog saying they thought it may be end of March. Reasoning was they received this offer in the mail and it was expiring end of March...

Makes sense unless it was individualized to the person receiving the mailing

Duplicate from having one executive card prior.

Come to think of it, the second executive application violated the "65 day rule".
On the other hand, the "65 day rule" didn't seem to stop Citi from approving my application.

Was the second approved in the end?
If not, pretty obvious. The 65-day rule is a hard-coded rule for all cards.

Hard coded as in unbendable? I thought the rule was 8 days. What is the 65 day & 90 day rule?

[wonderlust]

Well, ya.
Every man to his own style.

Just saying that with these duplicate rules they don't seem to work with u- & in my case just drew  more attention 2 the issue. But by all means knock yourself out . U can even get thru to the rep handling the acount ..

FT Wiki:
"Only 1 Citi application of any kind per week (8 days to be safe).
No more than 2 Citi applications of any kind in 60 days (65 days to be safe).
No more than 1 Citi business application in 90 days (95 to be safe). This does not override the rules above.

While the day limits are a little flexible by a few days either way and YMMV, the rules themselves are not flexible. Note: In applying the rules above, count all Citi applications, including denials and/or applications for non-AA cards."

Sorry if I wasn't clear.
My second executive was third application within 65 days - approved.
My spouse's executive was third application within 65 days - denied.

Typing a letter and putting it in the mail.... hmmmm.
Didn't know that is knockout work.
Maybe I need to spend more time on DDF.

did they ask questions about the need for a 2nd card?

[SearchGuy]

How long after statement closing are the miles supposed to post at AA?

[mawmaw]

dose citi keeps record of annual income reported like amex ??

[deusconsilio]

Is there a points bonus for spending past the initial promotion threshold (e.g. If you spend $20k in a year on the card you get another XX,000 points)?  If so, what is the total spend and points awarded?

Or less

Not really.
But I preemptively told them that I want to replace one of my old vanillas with an executive. So she never was looking at it as getting another account, rather, like replacing an existing account.

They told me that I have 4apps from November & 3 from jan! ( think they have 2 b duplicates though they insist they aren't )... There r 2 apps on 1/21 4 buiz cards. Does that mean that I have to wait 90 days 2 apply 4 exec or 65? The annoying part is that unlike other banks, even after u cancel your app( as the rep advised me to do on 1st app) the application is still on file & counts against u..

I want to get a second executive card. Do you think if I apply for the reg 3k threshold for 50k points and SM them with the link am I guaranteed it will work and I won't have to spend 10k?

[Zevwolf]

They won't match the executive from the regular.

? 
there are 2 executive offers why wouldn't they match one promo to the next?

[nobiggy]

if I just opened my 1st acct. With citi 3 weeks ago do I have a good chance of getting aprooved on another card?

[YosefG]

Well, you're welcome. And amen!

If it's a joint account, I would not worry about it.

I'd ask the second part of your question here:
