Citi Gold / AAdvantage Visa Signature card

Anonymous — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 18:49:08 GMT

I just applied online for a Citi® Gold / AAdvantage® Visa Signature® card. I was immediately notified that I needed to verify some info. I moved into my new place 10 months ago. I had to fax them a copy of a credit card statement, automobile statement, and auto insurance info, and all must have my current address. Hopefully I will be approved. What's the likelihood of not getting it?

Funny thing is I was declined last week for a citicard. I pulled my report and found incorrect info. I got the negative info removed within a week. I'm also waiting for my AMEX to arrive. For the last 5 years, I've carried two credit cards, a Capital One card with a $4500 limit, up from $300, and a Wells-Fargo Secured card with a limit of $1,500. I haven't been late in over five years. I'm happy that I've slowly improved my credit.

oops, you lost a ton of miles then.

In the unlucky event if you get denied, when you decide to apply again, check this flyer talk thing (2nd post) before you apply again.

That's a bummer, as the offer is still going on.

The 75K miles signup bonus paid for a first class round trip to Europe for my wife and I.

The 75k miles is for a Chase Card. I applied for a Citi card.

Chase does not have an American Airlines credit card.

The 75k miles is for the Citi Card. You can find the 75K miles signup bonus on various travel related sites. If you signup through Citi's website, all you get is 30k miles.

The 75K offer is not for a Chase card, it is for a Citi card. I don't think there is a Chase AAdvantage card. In any event, call and ask if they will honor the other offer. It never hurts to ask.

ETA: next time I should read the post right above me.

If they asked for all that verification, I don't see why you shouldn't be approved IMHO. Also, when you call to activate, see if you can get the 75k bonus miles.

My app was approved and I was just notified by Citi that I will receive the card within 7 days with a CL of $10,500.
