Reports are that Citi is giving higher CLs on the Exec than on the Plat. But if you do only get a $5K CL, that's not really a problem. Spend $5K right away, and quickly pay it off before the statement closes, then do another $5K in spend.
If you have a Citi checking acct, they may not let you pay it off from that acct until the statement closes. But you can either use WMBP, send an epayment from a checking account from different bank, or just call up the number on the back of the card and give them your checking acct info from a different bank.
I did $5K in OV the day I got my card. Two days later I paid it off with visits to 3 different WMs. Once those payments posted, I did another $5K OV, paid that off with WMBP, and was done with my min spnd in 10 days. One less thing to worry about.
