Citi Strategy
« on: September 06, 2011, 05:03:41 PM »
Is there a strategy to use to avoid the dreaded "only for new cardmembers" response, considering Dan says it's a dead end if received?

I have done some research on that a little while back on FT. There is absolutely no way to have them reconsider this. The best you can do is wait 60 days for the consumer or 90 days for the business, and try again.

This is extremely YMMV, but some people have had success signing up other people for the card and putting in their own AA number on the application.

This has worked for some, and has not worked for others.

What about changing my other citi cards to hilton or similar cards in advance of the new app? Will that increase my chances of avoiding the  "only for new cardmembers" deal?

u will only get the new cardmember message if u already had that card (or maybe any citi aa card) so if u never had a card u shouldnt get that message and if u do that can be fought bec that is an error
