Yes I have weekly pay stubs and I can print out my bank account balances showing close to 50,000$ but they want the tax form. Problem is I never filed taxes ever so if they pull it they will see zero income. This is my first year at my job so I never had to file till now but the income I reported was completely honest and true

So why can't you send them the tax forms with the pay s tubs and explain the situation?

I feel like they will see a tax return showing 0$ and that would automatically decline it. That's why I wanna avoid that form and show everything else. I'm thinking of trying to write in to mr stork to get him to reconsider with All the other information if that doesn't work then I would have to send in my tax form by November 20. How long does it take to get a response from mr stork?

I applied for the AA platinum card, and got denied because I already have the executive.

I've then applied for the thank you card, but was denied because of the 8 day rule. Would Huca or anything else help?

What's the current take on how often you can apply for Citi AA cards?

Anyone have any recent success with reconsideration and getting a business card app moved from pending to approved? Just applied for AA Business and received a "pending" status.

About 6 months ago.  Was difficult.  I applied for AA Biz but don't have much of a documented biz.  Eventually approved me for 1k. By contrast, 4 months later, with a much messier CR, they gave my $8500 instant approval on a personal AA.

I dont know which thread to ask this at; I hope this is OK to put here.
Does the max of 1 application per day apply to all Citi cards, or only AA?
I got TYP, I am thinking of getting HH only if there is reasonable chance of success.
If I can apply for both cards, do pulls get combined?

No dice on trying to get a biz aa card approved from citi without providing an EIN. The system detected it was a double SS entry.
