I mailed out my W9 to Citi yesterday.

So they made you send them a W9 for the AA miles? Afro said he got his, I wonder if he did the same? I emailed them last week and they said I would get mine by the end of this month and didn't mention the W9. I wonder if I should be proactive or point to the email saying I would get them if they give me BS..

The rep moved credit from an existing account line and approved me.

But what if I don't have an existing Chase card?

Ask them to move your imaginary credit around.

Seriously, good luck with the app. Chase seems to be a waiting game now for a lot of people. I'm over the 5/24 so I'm just staying away.

Used your Chase SP link last week, how long do they usually take to process the application and is there somewhere I can go to check the status of said app?



Hey! Thanks!

I guess your query was answered. If you don't have a lot of apps recently but have had a cc before, feel free to call in and talk to the rep. They should give it to you.

My strategy, however, would be to call the automated status line today and see whats up. They should have an answer for you by now. If it says denied - then call in and talk to recon.

Haven't done apps in a while so starting in February I did a few.

Citi World X 2 (me and wife)
Citi Business X 1
Starwood Business X 2
Starwood Personal (wife)

Total haul 150k AA miles plus 105k SPG points which I believe translates to another 126000 miles plus miles for both all of the spend.

Total should come out right about 300k miles received. That's it. I'm done for a while.


Wait - so you did get the bonus on your Citi AA cards? I thought you said you got the letter with no bonus language or am I just making that up? I did the same and got no bonus Not only that, I am also tapped out with Citi for a little under 2 months because of 64 day rule.

Anyway, my own Feb haul was:

Chase Ink Plus 60K
Chase IHG 80k+$50
Chase Sap 65K net (gf)
Chase Freedom 20K net(gf)
SPG Personal 40K net(gf)
AmEx Hilton 85K
Citi Prem 50K
AS Biz and Personal 25K+100 on personal amd 25K on biz

All auto-approved.

Your app was so much more efficient than mine. I wanted to go for Hilton Diamond hence the AmEx Surpass.


Going for SPG Biz and Chase UA end of this month.


Total haul 285K miles, and 165K Hotel points and $150 with hopefully another 100K coming. Missed out on 50K AA though :(

Who knows how they determine who should send a W9 or not. It seems like they are just making shite up as they go along.

The automated line said I am being reviewed and would know in 7-10. If I don't get anything in the mail by next monday I'll call and see if I can get something to move.

Yeah my letters had the bonus language. Only the business letter didn't but apparently that is par for the course.

Are you supposed to wait a certain period between the citi personal AA and citi business AA? I have read conflicting theories about 8 days or something. Also, are there still valid 50k bonus links?

Yes.

Wait 8 days between ANY Citi Apps. No more than 2 apps of any kind in 64 days. No more than 1 Biz app in 94 days.

Yes. Find all the updated links here.

Finally find a circle k that sells gc. Go to the register : can't sell gcs with a credit or debit card.

Can't or won't?

What's the deal with the bonus letters, are you not guaranteed the signup bonus with the citi AA cards?

It does not apply to you if you are going for your first Citi AA card. Personal or Biz. Either or both.

Very YMMV. I've gone to six local and found 2 that allow it with the right cashier.

Its not hardcoded, just a policy. Find the weak cashiers and feast. (I do)

Threw in my United 50k + 5k app late last night.

Now the wait game.

So far that's worked for me, just need it to happen one more time.

Later that night, I asked one of the Circle Ks who's "system was down" if I could bring their GCs to another Circle K down the street to load. They were surprisingly open to the idea. "Sure!" This other one is more friendly. Loaded $1,500 successfully. $4,500 to go.
