Pulled a bait and switch. After being instantly approved for a WMC Gold with the 30k + Amex with 50k, I applied for the Visa. When I got the " we are considering your application" message for the visa,  I called recon. I told them I didn't want the MC I was approved for, instead I want the Visa and the Amex. After some back and forth I got approved for the Amex+Visa.
Wow! Finally someone taking some reciprocal action against cc issuers... Barclay's, consider yourself warned...! :)

I just got instantly approved for a 2BM Citi AA MC with 30k and a CL of $6K, and the AA Amex with 50k and a CL of $6K

I checked my Experian and only 1 pull for the 2BM and the single Visa app.
You're my hero!
Like your sig says, Always HUCA, and then HUCA some more until you get what you want.

These are allegedly for the 50,000 offers:

Visa Amex

No landing page, so YMMV. Bli achrayus...

I applied using these links awhile ago.
I just sent a secure message and got back:
"Please allow me to apologize for any confusion and additionally, any delays in responding to you.

Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate your request at this time; however, we appreciate the opportunity to explain our position.

We regret we are unable to expedite miles for authorizations to American Airlines as you requested. Only miles for actual unbilled purchases can be expedited.

Our records do not indicate you were solicited to receive a $150.00 statement credit. If you have any documentation stating that you were supposed to be enrolled in the program, please send a copy of the offer you received. Once we receive this information, we will review your account and contact you.

Please feel free to contact us at any time if we can be of further assistance. "

Do I email again or try and call?

Maybe threaten to contact the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with a bait-and-switch complaint.
Although probably best to wait from the DDF readership to chime in whether they think this is a good idea or a bad idea.

Those sign-up links never included the $150.00 statement credit (only 50,000 miles after spending $2,500 and two admirals passes).

Applied and got approved, how long does it usually take for the admiral club passes to arrive?

2bm it with the 30k. Do the 30k after you get approved instantly (hopefully) for the 30k.

Never had aa card before.
I don't see club passes on the offer.
So I should do this 1st before a 30k offer?
I was planning on doing UsAir x2 today...mini apporama?

Try to get instantly approved for 60k first if it's approved or pending apply for 30k right after in differnt browser, if declined maybe apply for a different 50k and a 30k ((3bm).

What's an easy way to get the $150 statement credit? Gift cards? Some other idea?
Thanks.

Yes. You are able. But I don't think you'll be successful.
