Looks like Citi is cracking down Just applied for 2BM for the wife AA VISA/AMEX. Both were pending review and we only got an email with APPid for the Visa and were asked to call. Called in and got approved on the Visa for 10K. Was about to call about the Amex but decided to read FT citi thread for the last 2-3 days. Apparently this is happening to quite a few people. When they call in about second card its denied by REP because its a duplicate product. I'm going to wait it out and hope that the Amex will slip through...just wanted to warn anyone here about calling for the second card
Definitely will do!
I understood him and that's what i wrote back that i did a 3bm 2 consumer cards and 1 business and now i know that i most probably got 2 pulls for that but as they wont approve me for the second consumer card because one can't open 2 cards in 60 days so it comes out that one can't get 2 consumer cards from citi with 1 pull
Just read the Flyertalk thread you referenced. This is the worst thing to happen since Amex made these new rules. Perhaps we are in the wrong profession
That would definitely be a bummer. i'm thinking of jumping in myself now before they completely close it...
I got an instant approval for the biz and for the personal visa and denied for the amex
Well that's a waste of a 2nd pull. You can't get 3 citi cards at the same time.
From the Wiki:"So in order to maximize the benefits. Do a 2bm consumer(visa + Amex). Wait 60 days and then apply for a business."***************Why can't I apply for all 3 at once (Personal Visa, Personal Amex, and Business)?
You missed this"Citi only lets you apply for 2 cards in 60 days."
2 Personal and 2 Business aren't considered separate?
No
