Citi AA Mileup 6.9k/AMEX Delta Gold ???

I'm in the low-mid 700s for all three CRAs, trending up. Though maybe not so much with three new cards in 2021 (an earlier CU card/35k limit as well).

Citi, like AMEX, was IIB (Ch 13) so it's nice to know they like me again.

(Sadly BofA still hates me so those cards are off limits, and I'm LOL/24 on Chase and will be for a while.)

Plan is to use the MileUp for a while as an AA card and then I might swap it to the Citi DC if I decide to plunge into the ThankYou ecosystem. Probably with a Citi Premier, and then I will have Decisions™ to make on my AMEX Gold and Green. The thing is I use rental cars enough that I can't stay entirely inside their ecosystem (Citi doesn't do rental car coverage, save for Costco cobrands... which I don't have a membership for), so I probably end up keeping Green or switching everything over to a 2% cashback card with insurance if I really decide I'm mostly defecting to Team Citi.

It's a teeny tiny bonus (10k miles + $50 statement credit with $500 spend) but I was afraid of getting rejected and went for the one with the best odds. At some point I will probably lightly churn through some Citi AA cards and downgrade them to MileUps.

It seems that AMEX has me at a four card limit so it's goodbye to the AMEX Hilton no-AF and hello to the Delta AMEX Gold with 70k DL after 2k spend + $200 statement credit after a Delta purchase. I had to do this through recon (cancel Hilton, recon, get approved) so I don't know the CL yet.
