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.

What are some perks for these cards?

Are these miles worth more than let's say UR, MR, or starppints and converting them over?

Anyone know the worth of these miles once the merger is official?

Should be the same benefits listed Here

Here is AA's award chart Best value IMO is for flights to Asia on Cathay Pacific's J or F. It really depends on what you're saving up for.

It's anyone's guess. You can look back at the UA CO merger and try to predict. Chances are it will be very similar to AA's current program.

Is it really only 20k miles from North America to Europe in economy (one way or RT?)  Or am I reading this incorrectly?

That's economy OFF-PEAK, one-way. And this is not the AA award chart, it's the partner chart. (Though it's the same 20K on AA.)

Just got approved for my second card via a painless live chat. He offered either a 4500 CL or to reduce one of my existing cards to make it 8500.  :)
