From the research I've done online, Barclays cards seem to work well because they are Mastercard(Arrival, Aviator and Lufthansa). For Citi, I've seen a lot of reports of Mastercard also working well. (Double Cash, AA Executive, AA Plat, Prestige).
For Citi, I haven't seen a lot of data points on Visa so I'm not exactly sure if it works.

I still believe for Citi and Barclays the key is to make sure it's a Mastercard.

Update: My cc just got charged two days after I faxed in the form.

Hi, did you use a citi AA exec card to fund the citigold checking? I see that citi codes account funding on some cards as CA, is it the same for citi aa exec MasterCard too? What should I mention on the form to be faxed, for citi to not process it as CA but a charge? Thx in advance.
