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.

He answer very clear your question, and BTW you can search every third or fourth question and you will basically see your question just in a different way...
He said that if it doesn't come after the statement closes you need to wait till the next statement. It has been reported here that it can take 3 to 4 days to post after the statement. I am only 2 days after the statement so it can still come now. I realize if it doesn't come within a day or 2 that I need to wait until next statement.

My question was simply if anyone who it said 0 reported on actually got the miles during that 1st statement.

It's not gonna come this statement if it says 0 reported. However even when it says the full amount reported it will still take a few days.....

Did your 1st statement say that 0 miles were reported while detailing the miles that accumulated? I am really just trying to figure out if the miles will come this statement or I need to wait until next.

Thanks yes same story for me and my wife and a friend .

If you did a refundable ticket should you do an additional 10 or 20k of spend to offset it?
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

May show some "good faith"  with using the card and that the refundable ticket was just that. Not just a quick way to get the bonus.

I have no evidence, but I'd guess yes.
