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.

Does Live Chat ever come up on Sunday?
It did for me for my first app.

And Meshugener, for your knowledge, I do have a life. So there.

So all you guys that are getting 1 CC per pull are from NY?
Where do they pull from in NJ?
I'm trying to understand how it's worth a pull for 1 card and then another pull 9 days later..

Bump
I only paid 15% by switching to dansdeals

MMS wakes up every morning and says, "Hello world! What deal can I kill today?!"
No he wakes up every morning thinking, how could I promote my blog to get more traffic. He is motivated by profits like every human being. In his case more traffic means more apps through his links.

BA and DL had 66% (effectively).

Anyone have any info on DL bonus. It's been a dry spell last year or so .

Boo, application pending, and it didn't give me an option for the chat.
Call in right away?

How long did you wait?
If they're backlogged, it can take a minute or 2. Happened to me last week.
Calling though is probably just the same. Not the same feeling though.

Get a life.

I'd rather have this thread go off topic than talking and talking about it till MMS is going to suspect something is going on here that has not been killed yet.

And yes, call. They're super nice.

MMS has no interest in publicizing this. No referral bonus for him (or any other blogger).
That's why it's living already for up to 2 months.

He used to give step by step even on things he didn't get a referral on.

True. But on the other hand there are somethings he keeps secret. Say for example, the new FF# trick, which i'm sure he's aware of, but never makes mention of it. So i'm not quite sure we fully understand his agenda.

Just to clarify (yes, you can stop PMimg me...): By "new," i don't mean the trick is new, i mean putting in a "new FF#." Sorry for the lack of clarity.

Citi consumer+business is 2 AFAIK.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
