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.

A primary cardmember may earn the 10,000 EQMs only one time in a calendar year, even if the primary cardmember has more than one Citi Executive℠ / AAdvantage® card.

I just applied for 2nd card and approved. Kept all details exactly the same on application. First card I got 19K CL and now I got 22K.

How sweet it is.

Instant approval round 2 but my apps were 2 weeks apart. The first app was pending, mind you and was only approved later with call.

Thanks. So even their wording allows more than one card.

Now, any data points on how long you need to wait between applications?

Anyone tried a 2BM on the executive? Maybe all the rules are different on this one?

Same here. Looks like they have front line reps. Because she first said it's being reviewed. After I told her that I got an email to call in she said that she will transfer me to the correct dept.

Looks like I'm approved because it said " welcome to the executive card" bla bla bla.

I applied for second executive, called up but rep said they can't give me final decision even after I offered to shift credit. Does that mean I was declined?
