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.

Regarding the cit advantage cards that have the 18 month waiting policy between cards to receive the bonus offer. Does anyone know if that is only for example if I had the platinum card then i can't have it again, or it also means that if i had the platinum i can't have the executive card et ?

The reps on the application line say that you can't receive it, but they don’t sound very competent ?

Also my friend got an offer for 40k after spending $1500 on the gold card [instead of the standard 25k after spending $750]. When I open up the offer page I can delete his name and fill in my details. Will I then get that offer ? can it be used more then once ?

Tnx.

You can still get the Executive card (according to FT, the new Citi Executive apps that have the 18 month language are no longer affected by the fact that you have/had a Platinum Card, like in the past)

Citi reps are famous for that!

Question: I am trying to close down a bunch of cards in order to reapply in 1-2 years. I have the Citi AA card and now the Barclays Aviator card, can I close down the Citi AA and not lose any benefits. The main one I am concerned about is the 10k mileage redemption bonus when booking award tickets, but i see that the aviator also offers that... Thanks for your insight.
