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.

I was about to type an answer. I'm not lazy to answer.
I just want that you read the last 5 pages of this thread. I promise you that you won't have any questions.
I'm writing a long comment, so you won't think that I was just lazy to answer your question. It's pretty simple.
I hope that it was understood. Lets not have a thread of repetitive questions.

Make it into a wiki?
I only paid 15% by switching to dansdeals

Sorry I read this thread from the 8th page and the FT wiki. I get the steps, but somewhere in the middle (page 18) or so, it sounded like 2BM was magically allowed - for biz and personal. Then it sounded like not.

I have the gold and the plat, I was about to get the biz card, but then after reading this thread it sounded like I could get the biz and the 50K ft offer at once in two BM - is that officially dead? If so, I will just continue along the process that the FT wiki says to do (step 3 with the biz card).

So, is the 2BM dead or can I do them 2 days apart?

Thanks!
David

I recently tried adding my Hilton Reserve to my AA login and it didn't allow me.
Same with the wife.

You wrote about adding AA cards to accounts with other cards. I have successfully done so some 10 months ago. I guess it depends what you're adding to what.
