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.

Dude, unless you you're substituting "second" for "third" no "!!!" is needed  ;)
Lol...  Will work on it....

Also, I froze my Experian - and they automatically pulled from Equifax, no questions asked.

I just spoke to citi about getting approved for a 2 card and he told me they r going to stop approving 2 cards because they see to many people r closing after 30 days and applying again and we not giving away miles and then u r going to cancel also he said that everyone is buying the reload cards so we r trying to stop it . I guess its over ?

It'd be hysterical if it wasn't sad and true.

Approved for a second!!!

+1
but i was dumb, I sent an SM to cancel the first card and then right away decided to apply for a second. the latter was given only a $5k limit. I was nervous to ask them to transfer from the other card (has a $12k limit) because I didn't want them to see that i'm moving limits and then cancelling

Sounds like Citi AA will be useless again soon except for every 18-24 months

I actually believe this.
If this got onto AA's radar, it must also be 10 times worse for Citi.

My statement says


Miles reported: 0

but then it says

Accumulated This Month 110,000

is there any hope for miles showing up before next statement?

Also if i close before miles post, will that stop the miles?
