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.

Go to IRS.gov. File for a new sole proprietorship EIN. Forward that confirmation letter to Citi. No guarantees they'll approve you though.. they're pretty tough on new businesses.

I got the personal matched, they just added the difference to my FF account, before spend was complete. I got the remaining 60k after 3k spend was complete.

What are you trying to match?
Did you call or SM?

You apped with no offer?
Maybe try calling, although SM is generally recommended, calling uses a different procedure to get it matched.

Do this

..... try calling, although SM is generally recommended, calling uses a different procedure to get it matched.

Since when you call they submit a "dispute" (their words) to the higher up to match it, instead of them being the ones to do it themselves.
I'm interested to hear if that'll fly.

Got a NL offer in the mail for spouse. Can it be transferred to myself as the code pulls up spouse name & Address but thats all, can I change just the first name and enter in my info (SS, FFN etc) or won't go thru?

IIRC it depends on how many digits the code has.
