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.

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?

HUCA brother. Make sure you talk to the right department. Looks like I also got a frontline (non decision make rep. first).

Didn't they kill the fast churn fairly quickly last year in August though?

It was alive for 2 months and it wasn't an offer. It was a system glitch most likely.

I think that that's a hard-coded rule that applies to all cards.
You know what, I let you try....

Leave it to Citi to forget to apply it to new card types.

My second executive was third application within 65 days - approved.

When I called in she recounted what cards I have open, and she said you have a Plat, Plat, and an Exec. Didn't even ask why I need 2.

Either way, I assume the 65 day rule doesn't apply to a Storker.
Anyone with data on this - can you please weigh in?
