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.

Got card yesterday,
Finished spending today,
Statement closes tomorrow.

Now let's see what happens... ???

Update (hint: best scenario possible):

Got card Wednesday,
Finished spending Thursday,
Statement closed Friday,

Just checked,

1) The $10k is in the bill! (was hoping it shouldn't be left pending).

2) Got the $200 credit.

3) No AF!

I know this has been discussed before. What happens with AA when you apply for a new card and create a new AA account? If there's an existing account under the same name will they automatically link it and send to the first account or will it work like chase?

I can apply for a 2nd on the 11th, however if I wait till the 17th I would have 3 inquiries in the past 6 months instead of 5 inquiries.

Would you guys wait till the 17th and risk the offer going away?
I have more then 6 inquiries in the past 6 months and I got approved!
