Just noticed this part.

Somewhat recently applied for a Citi card, but was going out of town for 10 days and knew the physical card would arrive just after I left, and I also knew I was about to book a relatively expensive flight.

Short story short, called Citi, and no dice. Card was waiting when I returned from my trip.

I have not tried with anyone else but my Credit Union, but suspect that that will be a MAJOR hurdle. Perhaps other members can chime in if they had luck as I do seem to recall someone posting that the bank disclosed their number to them prior to arrival of card.
