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.

Well, you probably are mixing up things, but that's normal for someone your age :P

But in this case, your partially right, as someone who had previously gotten the 60K offer got the 100K offer.

Was wondering if someone is going to do two 100Ks, though I suspect it wouldn't be an issue.

Since you mentioned it, my citi business points haven't posted it's already a week after statement closed, what should I do?
Beat your head against the wall.
FT has a report about it coming through on the third statement. So, I will delay my head-banging until then.

Are people still having trouble linking their new card under their existing Citi.com profiles? I got my card today (Thanks CV) and just now linked it fine to my Citi ID.

Yeah ari-something got 2 execs, in a cpl months tho
It was actually only 3 weeks apart,
Applied 1st time 3 weeks ago (for the 60k offer which has since been matched)
Had Experian frozen both times so they pulled Equifax (which nobody else pulls)
Only had 1 pull within the last 12 months
Although I did do a big AOR at the time of the 1st app, which doesn't seem to have bothered them
Why so many chickens over here? am I going to be the only-one that went for 2?

Thought I remember seeing a post here that citi will not approve apps that had more than 6 cards opened in 6 month- would that rule only apply to citi cards or all new cards? How bout if the other cards were pulled from other credit agency?
