Are you keeping both the Prestige and the AA Exec? I realize they have different features but seems like a lot in AF when you could decide to go all AA miles or all TYP.
Im actually going to close the Thank you Premier first (once it hits the one year mark). I will definitely keep the AA Exec, I have put almost 40k on the card in 6 months. Definitely worth keeping,, have accumulated alot miles and have 4 trips planned already in the next 5 months. I was waiting for the year to be up on the Premier and see if i can move my TY points on to my Prestige. Really dont mind the AF on the cards..LOL.
I took the leap and applied for the Dividend card and was denied flat out; no 7-10 day message.......so add another inquiry. I am thinking about going for the Sams Club Discover and call it quits for a while........actually have more credit than I need.......I just love getting credit cards.

Oh, didn't realize you have the Premier, thought it was the preferred. Yes, I am closing mine as soon as the AF hits, absolutely useless since they nerfed it. So you haven't combined your TYP? Citi allows all points to go into a common pool so there is no need to transfer them from card A to card B.
I just went for the Sams Club Discover, had the regular credit card already, got approved for $2500......not much as a rewards card but it will help utilization. I've had quite a bit of successs with with GECRB over the past year.....they have been good to me.

well sorry to hear about that, Citi can be quirky when it comes to approvals. But congrats on the SC Discover! that card will definitely grow with you!
In June 2012 my husband got an offer for the Diamond Preferred card, approved starting CL 5500.
In Oct 2013 my husband got an offer for Thank You Preferred, approved starting with a 4500 CL.
Feb 2014 my husband got another offer for the Citi AA World Mastercard exp in March. He is going to app for it once the card is showing PIF on the reports.
I dont get offers, I have to call recon due to 9 YO BK showing. I was successful in Reconing for Citi Dividend last April though with a 2K starting CL. So, if you dont have PR/DEL showing odds are probably good in success IMHO.

While I'm sure they look at total inquiries, they seem to really focus on how many in the last 6 months (6 is rumored to be the most acceptable but who really knows). Not advocating this, but they just approved me for Executive AAdvantage with 26 EX inq, 8 in the last 6 months, clean file, 3yrs AAoA. That card seems to have a high approval rate though. I've never had any offers populate on their website, but they haven't declined any apps either (yet lol).
Wow, perhaps i should contact the EO once again for a 3rd manual review on my Citi Executive AA. I reallly want this card!
