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.

600k. That's what I'm talkin' about.


Please share if:

1)You had closed any of the previous 2 cards before #3?
2)If yes, what explanation did you give when asked?
3)Were you within 60 days or after?

Thanks

4) Do you get some sort of preferential treatment as some sort of Citi "ambassador?"

Thanks

Added one.

I believe this has been discussed a few times, although I can be mistaken.

You're not. I'd be able to retire from the mileage game if I got 1000 miles for every time that question was asked and answered.

A Citi rep told me today that all the Citi business aa miles that didn't arrive the last couple of months "will arrive tomorrow the 31st" 

A DROPR challenge right there, will wait and see.

Weird thing is mine post with the statement every time while hers take an extra month.
Go figure.
Your wife is not a blogger, correct?
