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.

My statement closed yesterday. Got $200 credit, hit with AF, and my PDF statement says 110k reported to AA, no miles in my AA account yet though.
Same exact here! It's 4 to 5 days already!

I spoke with a Citi rep who said due to the high volume of new applicants, it was taking some time for AA to setup accounts and link it with Citi.

Is that for people who signed up without entering an FFN?

Anyone work out what the "better offer coming out tomorrow" was? or is this a situation where "those who know don't say and those who say don't know"?

One of the reasons I was denied for a 2nd was: "We wanna first see how your payments are going to be on the first one". (even though I have a 4 year on-time-big-balances payment history with them.)

I called Citi and the statement for my 2nd card that I applied for on Wednesday doesn't close until March 7th.
