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.

Always buy a refundable ticket. A 3x bonus netted me 9,440 miles on the statement.



How long after you bought refundable tix did you cancel ? After points posted or statement closed ? That's better than a $50 GC that I can't use

Route ? THX for spoon  :)

I applied back in April for a biz card but was denied because that biz had a card under my wife's name.  Reapplied yesterday and was told denied because an application was recently submitted (61days ago). should I play huca?
Where is the 30k gold link.  Seems dead to me

Approved!

Does anyone know if the latest 50K offer comes with Admiral's passes or a $150 credit?

Read the Wiki there . IIRC the $150 statement credit ( plus an explanation in the Wiki )  and Admirals passes still apply to that link . I prolly used that link 3 months ago
