Citi you make no sense to me. Why approve me for the Citi AA Exec card (see Approved! AA Citi Exec 100k), require that I spend 10k in 3 months to earn 100k AA points, but make it impossible to do so? Just like the Citi Premier (see Approved! Citi Premier), I was approved for a petty amount. Here, it was only 5k. Just like the Citi Premier, it does not matter if I pay my bill in full. My payment is on hold for two more weeks. Just like the Citi Premier, they won’t let me transfer available credit from my Citi Plus card despite having a 30k credit line.
When I called to ask what could be done? They said nothing. The algorithm is in control.
Conclusion: The machines have taken over. #judgementday #johnconnor
Same exact situation – have to to time it so carefully to meet the spend! It’s crazy
call them and pay with a debit card and they will increase your available credit, no waiting.
Oh that’s a great tip!
