Didn't the rep say she'd personally approve it if it wasn't done in a few days?

Is it harder to get approved for citi cards when I have two open already? It would be harder to explain why I need two new ones when I have two open already

which number did you call ? did they try telling you the 18 month rule ? what did you tell them ?

the two numbers i posted earlier- (800) 645-7240 or (800) 288-4653. dont remember which one i used when actually got it done but i think i have used both and they had the same mix of helpful and unhelpful reps.
they did tell their version of the 18month rule - from the time cards were closed, not last opened, which seems to be against whats generally assumed here- but for me that was fine cuz it had actually been that long since i last closed my aa business cards.
