I fell for it, declined waiting for letter. I knew better, but when I got a mailer for the United card about a month ago I apped and was approved. Reset gardening to today 👍. All is not bad, DH apped cold for American AAdvantage and was approved, we both were shocked, his scores low 600's. So now between us we have American "store card" and AAdvantage MC 😄
