Citi offers you to create a Virtual Card Number to protect your actual cc #. Use this for merchants that you do not trust online or that you want the membership to expire after a set time w/o having to cancel by calling.
There is a thread that details it. I think its in a citi thread, its def in the wiki for the thread.

And you can use Citi's own virtual card number on the to churn IM? From the forest itself takke. Is this true?!

If Transunion tells me they are sending me (via snail mail) a complimentary credit report will that also the credit score or just the basic account info?

TIA

Okay, I just got Citi Identity Monitor.

Takke almost ALL my pulls are on Experian. Amex pulled from Experian and so did Chase (thank G-d for a successful 2bm and 3bm with them.) Only Barclay pulled from TU. (I am in Pennsylvania, BTW.)

What is interesting is a few things:

1) That my Citi IM FAKO score for Equifax is pretty close to the real FICO. They gave me a 785. My real score is 786.
2) The difference between my Equifax (786) where there was only one pull and my Experian (750) where there were 7 cc pulls is 36. 5 points a pull sounds right, no?

Six months into this hobby, here is the update. I know the Citi IM scores are FAKOs, nevertheless... Equifax went from 786 to 797, Experian went from 750 to 770.

IOW... in six months, I have kein ayn harah, amassed close to a half a million miles and my credit scores have all gone UP!

Thanks, Dan! And thanks to all of you who answer questions and give guidance so graciously.

That's what the banks don't want you to know ;)
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
