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 don't think so Google city prequalified offers page   offers for you or something like that

I don't know how to copy and paste in dans otherwise I would give you a link
Ok thanks. I'll try after shabbos. If I apply through a pre-qualified link, I should get the bonus even though I already have the card?

If you have  a converted to world elite card or a Visa non MasterCard AA plat
you will get the bonus .

If you have a non converted card you should not get the prequal offer
Of the AA PLAT card .
Reading from a phone so don't want

Have you read the FT thread at all?

Thanks. I check on it from time to time and read through some of it last week but haven't had a chance to completely catch up yet.

There's no guaranteed "You will get the bonus" at this point. Yes, it has been working for over a year, and yes, there have been mixed results since 2/9. As you said, your odds are pretty decent, and having an offer show up in your prequal page is a good sign, but no guarantee.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Just checked. Don't have it as a pre-qualified offer.

CMIIAW but I don't recall anyone applying from pre QUAL offer and not getting the bonus . But after reading multiple hundreds of FT threads , I could have missed it .
MY latest AA converted and I am looking for the AA plat to show up on the pre QUAL or other offers
for you page , then I will gladly be the Guinea Pig .

Looked to see if DW had a pre-qualified offer and this is what I got:

I understood it to mean that she doesn't have any, but it says "see below for 3 other cards" and there are three cards besides for AA Plat. so note sure what to take from it...

That is as close to pre QUAL as I have ever gotten . I applied using that link and got the bonus .
If I saw that , I would jump on it !
ETA I don't think they will match that to 50K or 60 K and I didn't see it was only 30 K

Are there reports of them matching 30k to 60k? I've only seen 50 to 60.

Also, I also get the same as CS91, do I need to actually apply through the pre qual link, or once it shows up there I'm good to go with any link?

I would think good to go with any link , that you have not
used before is the Caveat at FT.

Matched to 60k before receiving the 50k? Before meeting spend?

That's typically how people were doing it for personal. I'm guessing the same for Amex.

Requested match 3 X to 60 K . All were successful as soon as I received card .
Any DP on using old links at FT and getting the bonus recently .

I have the 30K " card you might like " just popped up today , but want to get 50 K deal instead and FT links with 50K have 18 months language that is very sketchy at the moment .

Used 4d in the 3rd week of Feb and got bonus. But *as you know* very YMMV.
