If I were Citi and AA, and I wanted to draw out all the scammers, what would I do? I would create a bonus bigger than anyone has seen in a while, say 100k miles, and I would make it for a card with a really high AF to incentivize people to want to close the card and beat the AF, and I would make the threshold really high, say $10k in 3 months, so people will be tempted to do wild things to get big spending fast. And once they've all taken the bait, I'd shut 'em all down permanently! Basically, a roach motel for game players.

And then call Dan paying him 500 tuna sandwiches with pickles to scare everyone and not to reveal there's something boiling behind the scene.

It might have to do with this being the first time they have seen something like this.

For those cancelling who had the AF hit already, would you pay off your bill except $450 or pay the whole thing, then cancel and do credit balance refund?

Have people had luck downgrading the card to avoid AF?

BTW when I called to see app status they approved me after asking for my cell phone number. I called 2 days later to get a tracking number for the card and they asked if I want to add my cell number to the acct.

What is the negative affect of having 3 pull per month? is it strictly on the score or are there other factors?

Its score and also banks see how many applications you have had in a given time frame and that may make you subject to denial and/or questioning the frequency of your asking for credit

They are telling me and they notated my account that being that I have the executive card I can't get another one called a few times and they see on the notes I called in the past any other way around it to get my second app approved?

Nobody reported AA shutting sown for CVS purchases. Someone referenced Chase doing so.

My $.02 for the n00bs is that if you are opening brand new accounts and have no history with the bank or airline, you shouldn't be doing these higher risk and slap in the face tactics. Opening cards and grabbing the bonus and shutting down right away. Leave the cards open a bit, establish a relationship and history with the bank, and then you don't need to worry as much about getting shut down over CVS purchases.

Not true with Chase.
