This would be nice to take advantage of now! I can't seem to get in the door with a Citi card except the Home Depot card, so I could sneak in this way. That would be so awesome and then I could have a much better chance at the Dividend card that I want. I tried last year for a Citi card, but they wanted me to verify income and I have no patience to do such a thing, it just seems too much work to get the little rewards I want from the three months I would get the category I want....

It would also be nice to get those FF miles now....

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.....
Always follow these rules: Only take a HP for a new account. Always use the best rewards card for that reward category. Don't close a card unless you know you really should. Never use more than 35% of a credit limit. Recon as much and as best you can. Use the introductory period to the best advantage. Get the signup bonus. Whenever possible PIF or balance transfer so you pay less in interest. Never give an excellent rating when it is actually the norm. Always look for a discount as more is always better.
Always accept candy from strangers because they have the best candy or from people you know have good candy.

Thanks for the link, but this is the Citi link? 50k miles signup bonus is nice, but $3k spend vs 40k miles signup bonus after first puchase on Barclays is much better.

JPM Ritz Carlton $8k I UMP Club $8k I CSP $8k | Chase Hyatt $5k I AMEX Green NPSL I AMEX Delta $2k I Citi AA $2k | C1 QS $4.5k
BOA UNC-CH Alumni $6k I Hawaiian WEMC $3k I Arrival $6.5k I IT $1.5k | Merrill+ $2k | Lowes $12k | Apple $2k | +23more

I am happy with just my CITI AAdvantage card with free checked bag and group 1 boarding

The title and content of this article is slightly misleading. Yes, there will be two AA branded cards, one issued by Barclays and the other by Citi. However, the Barclays AA will not be converted on April 30, 2014. That will happen once the two FF programs officially merge, which won't happen until 2015. Until then, Barclays will continue to issue the US Airways branded card. Once it changes over to the AA brand, Barclays will no longer issue new accounts. Only those who have the US branded card will be eligible for the AA branded card.
