If I sign up for a Citi AA business card, do the points have to go to the primary applicant/cardholder's AAdvantage account? I didn't provide any AAdvantage number when I signed up, but I would like the miles to into additional cardholder's AAdvantage account.

The miles automatically go to the primary account holder's AA acct.
If you want them to go into a different person's account (it's irrelevant if that person is an additional user or not), you can try entering that person's AA# on the application.
As it is, chances are about 50% for it to work if done at the time of application. Sometimes the system recognizes a mismatch and creates a new AA account # to transfer the miles into.
Once the application was submitted though, the only way to do it is by calling them and I would say your chances are pretty slim on this one.

I applied for these back in October 2010, got denied for all three. Still have an open inquiry from citi from back then.
Want to reapply now.  Is the open inquiry a reason for denial or even an increased chance of denial?

Did you do it with a different First and last Name?

Different first name, same last name.

Great idea. Can you recommend any services that'll clear up my Experian pulls? Preferably something cheap (obviously).

I'll defer to mancunian, who spoke about his experiences on the topic at the NYC DO.

There are some reports on FT of people getting offers from Citi for 75K AA signup bonus after spending $1500 and others have gotten offers for 50,000 American Airlines AAdvantageŽ bonus miles after $750 in purchases within the first 4 months of cardmembership and 50,000 AAdvantageŽ bonus miles after you make $10,000 in purchases during your first 12 months of cardmembership. Fee is waived for the first year annual fee.
There are links for the personal Visa and Amex and business Visa

The big question is that since these seem to be targeted offers will they work for anyone who uses the links or only for the intended individuals. The problem is that the links go directly to apps that dont have any info about these bonuses so you cant prove to them at a later date that you used a valid app. Here are the links if anyone is interested;

For the 50K+ 50K bonus

Here is the FT thread with this discussion;

Do these links still work?
