    I just got this message a few days ago. Don't worry its their early warning dept. Once you call and enter in your acc info it will direct you to early warning. They will just verify your info/make sure you made the purchases/ and they might ask to call you back at the number they have for you.

    Is it a security check?

    Yes,

    I just opened the account in October. They would not give me a BT offer so I decided to open a C2IT account (citibank also) and transfer the $ from my citibank to my C2IT account then transfer that to my bank account and pay stuff off.

    The lady I spoke with verified who I was and made sure I made the purchases and that the card was in my possesion. She said that if purchases are made on an account that do not reflect previous purchases or that don't seem like normal activity for the account it will be flagged and looked at. And since my account was brand new they had no idea what my spending habits were. They did not stop the transaction they just called later that afternoon and left a message and when I logged on to their site I got that message so I called. I have made several other large transfers and haven't received another call or message.

    charlieome, can you explain this a little more clearly? Are you saying that C2it you can move money from Citi card to C2it to bank account? Get a cahs advance in other words? If so, have you tried it? are there any fees? Is it treated like a cash advance or like a purchase?

    TIA

    Breeze,

    Yes I use it all the time its great! Its absolutely free (except if you request a check or something?). They do pull a DTC-inquiry mine was on EQ. What I do is transfer (called add cash) $XXXX from my citibank platinum card to my C2IT account. Then I either transfer that $XXXX to my bank account and just pay my stuff that way or you can link up your other credit cards to your C2IT account and just transfer the $XXXX that way. For example:

    I transfered $1000 from my citibank credit card to my C2IT account then transfered $600 to one credit card and $400 to another credit card.
    and
    I transfered $1000 from citibank card to c2it account then transfered the $1000 to my bank account.

    There is amount of $ limits you can transfer per day but its very reasonable - I think it is $1000/day or $5000/ 4 days (something like that)

    Its treated as a purchase not a cash advance
