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.

When it's reported all over FT AND here I'll believe it.

It's Sunday. Give it a day.
Only Orthodox Jews and Chinese do business on Sunday.

I hope nobody here tries until there is confirmation that it does work on FT.

 Idea: variation of PGGM to get the 10%/10k bonus, and see if they won't claw it back after you cancel the redemption.
 Thoughts?
 
Not a good idea if you plan on selling the account, but otherwise I guess it can't hurt to try.

 No idea what PGGM is, but apparently people stack up AA points and sell their accounts on some secondary market.

I'm a little mad that people bulk up on points to sell accounts though. Crap like that makes it worse for all of us

Can someone please clarify: is the "opening 9 days later" thing over? How long must be waited now?

I'd suggest you wait for clarifications, unless you want to risk wasting a pull.
