HT: FT

Citi in NY pulls from either Equifax or Experian or both. YMMV even by the same person.

If you live in NJ or NY, you should freeze your Experian. They will only pull Equifax then. Otherwise, YMMV.

FOR MORE INFO, READ FT'S WIKI - IT IS PHENOMENAL, FT WIKI

Quote from the above mentioned FT WIKI:
For the most part, freezing Experian, or another bureau, will not cause Citi to pull a different bureau. They will almost certainly require you to unfreeze the bureau they wish to pull or deny your application. Some people have been successful providing the PIN but others have not. Mostly, freezing a credit bureau in an attempt to force Citi to pull a different one seems to waste time, money, and effort for little result. But YMMV.

DDF data points (As of 10/2015)
NY- pulls both EQ/EX, can still get instant approval with EX frozen
CA, OH, PA, TX- ONLY EX. Citi will refuse to pull other bureau

Benefits:..
New no forex fees starting Nov.'15

From FT Wiki:"Important exception: If you receive a Platinum World MC which is later converted to a World Elite MC (as indicated on the back of the card), the opening of that card will no longer count for purposes of the 18-month rule. This is true not only for conversions in early 2015, but also for those in more recent months.
Note: It makes no difference when (or whether) you activate the World Elite card. If you have the WE card in hand, then the conversion on Citi's books is already complete. There is nothing magical about activating it.
There are a few reports that some Gold World MC are being converted to Gold World Elite MC and that will no longer count for purposes of the 18-month rule."
UPDATE: As of 02/18/2016 (for applications after 02/09/2016), the W>WE loophole may be dead.

Got card today, and the closing date is on the 7th, hope Citi will consider the pending charges as a charge, Citi usually does... at least the wife's closing date is on the 14th.

What day did your wife apply?

I called when I got card to change closing date. Apparently she changed the due date to 28 and it closed earlier (yesterday). Noticed yesterday and called and CS said since it's closing that night, nothing she could do, however for the mistake of other rep, she gave me 5000 points. Just checked and I got hit with AF AND $200 credit. Didn't change spouses dates and that closes on 12 and nothing has hit that account yet.

They have a thread that spells out all the codes/acronyms.  If  there is something specific you need help decoding,  post it here and I'll try to help you (not exactly here,  maybe in the "random post"  thread)
Appreciate the offer but find the credit boards overwhelming-then again so were these forums when I started...

Are the bonus miles missing just from the AA account, or from the Citi statement too?
