I applied for the AA biz plat, got that for 8k line, but prestige was denied. Any ideas ?
Did you do both on the same day?

2. What are the most current time-restriction rules in applying for all Citi cards?

    Only 1 Citi application of any kind per week (8 days to be safe).
    No more than 2 Citi applications of any kind in 60 days (65 days to be safe).
    No more than 1 Citi business application in 90 days (95 to be safe). This does not override the rules above.


So I have 2, need to wait another 35 days phooey

If I was denied outright and given all the above, there is 0% chance of recon? I never got the citi prestige or either of these cards before.. I want the prestige for club access etc besides signup

Citi changed churning rules from 18 months to 24. 
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Let's hope they keep it that way. It was only a matter of time.

Is it regular for citi to ask you to send a confirmation of ss and dob with sig before continuing to process the application? Is that a good sign or bad one?
