I’ve printed and reviewed this thread (although I had to skim a lot of it since it’s so long). But, I would like to apply for these offers before they expire and am looking for the best strategy.
Background:
- I have a Citi AA MC that I've had open for a number of years that has a large balance at a 1.9% rate for life.
- My wife had a personal AA Citi MC card years ago (been closed for over 5 years).
- We each applied for and received the Citi Visa Business Card on June 30, 2010 (only got 35k miles).
In light of the above:
1. Should we each apply for both personal cards (simultaneously with different browsers)? If not both, which one should I pick (the Visa or Amex)? I know its YMMV with Citi and we need to “fall through the cracks” to get another card --- we’re willing to take the risk unless the odds are so long that it doesn’t make sense.
2. It’s been 90 days since we applied for the biz card, but the accounts are still open. Is it possible / worth applying again? If so, would I do these at the same time as the one/two personal applications?
Thanks in advance!
