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.

Did you try linking it FROM your existing account? When I did , all I had to do was put in the cc number. Although I had to do it twice.

i believe it was stated that if you start registering it to a new account that you would be able to link it to the old account in the process.

My statement was supposed to close on Feb 14, I called in on the 4th and changed the closing date to the 4th, and was told by rep that AF won't apply until March 4... I was planing to do the spending today just to wake up to... you probably guessed... yes, the AF did post!  >:(

Huca didn't help, I get the usual "I'm really sorry and it's our fault that you got screwed over, but there's literally nothing we or anyone can do".

I'm a citi customer for quite a few years with a good relationship with my local branch, you guys think they can help in any way?

Why didn't you just leave it at Feb 14th?
