Too early to know if that strategy worked, but, it is a thought.
Probably won't help much with your petition however if you've closed your accounts yourself.
This is the question I'm struggling with too. I appear to be in phase 2 -- thank you account under review and frozen but cards still working. On the one hand, I want to fight if they close me down. But, at the end of the day, I'm only looking at losing about 80k to 100k in points if I shut down voluntarily. I don't want to give up the right to fight if it's not going to get me anything.
But a "closed at customer's request" and a hope of staying on citi's good side seems like it might be worth letting those points go -- since they are likely as good as gone anyway.
