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.

The rule with Citi is that even if you don't get the landing page, if the application goes thru - you get the miles. Now I personally never confirmed it with this specific card. But this is how Citi has been working for many years.

It seems from the wiki like the landing page has been broken before. If your nervous, maybe wait a little and it will be revived?

Sigh... last minute thinking.

I personally would go for it. Literally for ages we've been using Citi links with no landing pages and getting miles.

For whatever it's worth, I opened my second executive card last Wednesday and I confirmed the bonus at that time.

I love how the bloggers are saying AA 100k is dead, even though it's alive and well. With Citi you never needed the landing page to get the bonus.

Citi has been known to kill direct links so I would not wait.

I just applied (Not because of the panic, just because my last AOR was exactly a week ago so I was planning on this anyway) I was approved instantly for 13K I verified with an agent the 100K bonus ;)
