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.

So does anyone know if the link at go7.citicards.com will trigger the bonus tracker for loophole?  I got two email flyers, one with a link to the website and the other offers an invitation code.  Was wondering if I should try the link first (as it expires tomorrow) and then the invitation code later... thoughts?

Also, how many times can I use that invitation code?

You got an invitation code ( actual numbers ) via Email ? Have only heard about snail mail targeted invites .

The WE churning is largely dead, and risky. Spend a few bucks on a targeted mailer without language, so you'll know you're getting the bonus.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

1. Does anybody have a promo offer for Citi AAdvantage?
2. Also, any thoughts about Executive World Elite vs Platinum Select?

Thanks!

I have never had such bad customer service!! I needed a card sent to Israel that was just sent out to my US address . The first lady I spoke to decided she has to cancel my old card. After doing that she realised she can't send it.
Now she tries to log back in but it doesn't let her because the card number isn't pulling anything up.
(little did I know she said the card was lost/stolen)
I call again and he says he'll do it. Puts me through to someone else but it doesn't seem to pull up anything. Next he tries my social but for some reason that doesn't work now. So they say I have to fill in a for and send back with my social security card.

What am I supposed to do? I really need the card expedited

You have the confirmation email?
Does it have a application number?
Maybe that'll work.
