If you're into getting airline miles but can't get a Citi cc, they're now offering a check card where you get miles on debit transactions: http://www.citibank.com/domain/redirect/fin_sol/prod_1/info.htm
I think it's a great deal. I just signed up me and my wife for it today (Premium level). I don't fly AA but I got some 30000 miles in there ( I'm CO and NW Elite ) so I'm gonna pump it up Ohh, by the way, I got approved for a personal loan with Citi It is my happy day
Many banks run a credit check when you apply for a checking account. I have an AMEX checking and they ran a credit check with experian when opened the account. I wonder if Citibank will?
Did AMEX tell you why they ran a credit check for a non-reporting checking account? I thought they only looked at CHEX systems for checking.
According to AMEX I applied for overdraft protection which is a form of credit. They denied the overdraft protection but approved the regular checking.
Oh I am going to apply for AMEX Loc later this year when all my negs except a repo are gone. I'm counting being a great checking customer making a difference. I'll probably get an instant denial then I'll beg for reconsideration. Maybe Citi debit card holders can do the same ?
