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.

Citi is not playing ball with me on retention for my AA. How long do I have to cancel and still get fee waived?
On which card?
I like vanilla but my name is Venilla.

AA Platinum.
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Reports on FT say you can, but in case you don't want to, you can just apply for the 50k online and ask for a match.

Got this message when I logged onto my Citi account through the app. Does this mean that they already converted from W to WE? It's only been a month since I opened the account.

Wow, that was fast then. I was expecting it to take 2 months. Are there still reports of people getting the bonus once the conversion is done or has Citi killed it since bowtie publicized it?

Before makes most sense and then they will most likely just say that they will add it to your AA Account once spend is met or in next statement.
