After I hung up, I thought, "this would have taken half the time if I'd done it online." Don't know for sure if that's true, but given the chance to do it over again, I'd apply online. Good luck, and I hope it goes faster than my experience applying by phone!
YES!! definitely do everything you can ONLINE. and avoid speaking to a CSR! All of them are from foreign countries and cannot understand you, nor can you understand them. I had to repeat the state I was from 3 times because I dont think the CSR guy knew that Colorado was a state! Seriously??!!

The customer service is awful at Citi! Chase is so much better. As soon as my miles post I'm closing this Citi acct. for sure!
