I doubled up on the personal Visa and Amex late last night and was not instantly approved (hovering mid 750s Exp rating). I then called customer service this morning and was asked to verify some information. They then approved me for both cards with 9k limits each and the 75k mile promos.

The one kicker was that it was with 4k spending limits within 6 months instead of the 1.5k. 8k wouldn't be too bad if I didn't have spending goals on a few other cards I just received. The application employee told me to give customer service a call once I received the cards to go over the promo terms so I'll give you guys an update then if the 1.5k spending is still available.

The same CSR approved you for both at once on the phone?

Yes - correct. The original approval was only for the Amex then I had her look into the Visa app as well. She immediately said that I was approved for it.

Wow that is interesting. My wife has 2 pending apps with them and i was afraid to call as they would see both and likely deny one.

I wonder if your experience is the norm or whether most reps would notice and deny the second...

When you called, did you just give them the social and they pulled them up or did you have the reference numbers? Im assuming the latter as you said you you called about the amex originally?

I'd imagine it's a case by case basis. Personally, I actually use a Citi card as one of my primary cards (for dining) so I'm not sure if that affected my application. Regardless, I was willing to split the CL across both just saying that I would prefer to have a Visa as a backup for the Amex (in case Amex isn't accepted).

Judging by others' recent experiences, it doesn't look like instant approvals are occurring that often for Citi or Chase apps, at least not on the popular mileage promos.

I provided my SSN as I only had one reference number saved, but my original intent was to call re: both cards. I'd imagine you could probably make separate calls to different CSRs for each reference number to eliminate some of the risk of them seeing multiple applications. If only one of us worked in a Bank Service Center to verify the approval process...

So, has anyone been approved for multiple rounds of triple applications? Please share your experiences.

Just did another trifecta for the wife....all three are pending (she had all 3 already). I used my aa # for all 3 of them hoping to get me a little closer to 1MM before AA changes that.

Will report back on what happens with them

All 3 denied.

The biz card due to recent application for credit.

The visa and amex due to offer being valid for first-time citi/Aadvantage cardmembers only...

The thread is huge so dont shoot me for asking this...has anyone successfully had the "first time denial" reconsidered?

+100 I urgently need to know if I'm wasting my time padding my Equifax with another hit (or two?) going for another round of these. IIRC, I've done 3 rounds and gotten only one card on the first round.

I have heard that if you wait 60 days between cards then this card is churnable. Never tried it myself though

I received a (targeted?) 50k offer in the mail recently, am I more likely to get approved with that? Any way to combine it with another two (simultaneous) 75k offers online?

Have you heard that specifically about the 75/100k offer?

No, but i wouldn't think that they're (no) churning policy would vary from offer to offer?

Also, after i got my first citi AA visa a few weeks later i got an amex AA offer in the mail. I signed up for the Amex and was approved instantly... Not sure if that had to do with the fact that it was targeted towards me. Maybe i just got lucky?

A week ago I put through a triple-app (my third round IIRC). The two personal cards got declined (one for multiple app and one for first time cardholders only), and the biz got declined for multiple apps too. I called them and pleaded my case, and got the biz app submitted for credit review, today I got an email that I'm approved with $8k CL :D FTW!!!

Thank you. I was hoping to get one of the personals approved too, but it seems like I've hit a brick wall.
