I don't think Citi would be dependable for that. Too often they don't do instant approval, and you have to either call (not necessarily possible always right away) or wait days.

It seems that for your plan you need not just expedited shipping but also near-guaranteed instant approval (not the dreaded "did you get to step 3 or step 5" question).
