Just got approved for one of my most wanted cards. Citi AA

[George528]

 Im stunned at this approval.  I have wanted this one and the bonus (50k miles ) for a long time. I know this card is not an easy one to get and I just read of someone getting approved with an EQ in the 655 range and mine is just a bit higher than that but I was not  going to try for this one til I was at 700 or higher.  CL is 4k which is pretty good.  What a difference a couple of years makes in working hard to improve your credit.

Congrats.. Which card?

Citibank American Aitlines Platinum Select.  Spend 3k and get 50k bonus miles.

Congrats, that's probably my approval you mentioned, as I was approved last night with my EQ at 657. I'm happy you got the card you've been wanting! I can't wait to meet my bonus!

It was yours and I am glad you posted your info.  It helped me make the decision to apply.  I am glad I did.    Thanks for the assist.

How do you get 50K offers for that card? All I see is 30K if you spend $1K in 90 days ,

Congrats! It's nice to get what you want isn't it?

Well done!

Congratulations! There's nothing like getting that card you've been salivating over. I nearly cried when AMEX approved me as I have literally wanted one since I was a little kid. The Stephen King commercial really sold me!

I have been an Advantage member for years and they send me  offers every month.  It has been frustrating knowing I am not qualified for these offers.  Once I saw someone elses acceptance with a score very similar to mine I applied.  It is 50k if I spend 3k in 90 days and the annual fee waived for the first year.  Plus of course free bags,  group 1 boarding etc..
