The cost of the card seems to have gone up steeply!
I'm guessing this is a typo

Hmmm...strange....still says $4508 on my screen
Edited to add: Ahhh...in Safari the small "8" that appears above and to the right of the $450 in other browsers (to refer to point 8 in the T&Cs) is neither small nor above.

FWIW, I received mine without asking as well. It's on my iPhone, but obscured by my opaque "free case" Apple bought me after Antennagate.

I just received my new plastic since I converted. Along in the box came two "payment tags" (one for me, one for my wife). You're supposed to adhere it to your cell phone and it will allow you to pay with it wherever the MasterCard "PayPass" system is enabled by just tapping your phone next to the POS device. According to the literature it is accepted at places such as Best Buy, Home Deport, 7 Eleven etc.
Unfortunately it's not black like the Executive Card, but rather more like the Platinum card, so it would look kind of weird on the back of a black phone.
Just curious if anyone else has received these tags when getting their card.

I doubt you could confirm this with Citi or AA (as they may not know themselves) but depending on how the systems ID card tenure a conversion account may be read when the first linked account was open.

FT masters and geniouses, here are some questions with some of the background included.
I applied for my last Citi Visa card on 8/31, with only one application on this date. I think there is a 60-day waiting period before I could apply for the Exec card. However, most people that refer to this period have applied for 2 cards on the same day. Would this period apply to me as well?
Assuming that my application is approved in the first few days in November, would it be possible to change my due date to some time in the end of November, so that the 25k bonus posts before 12/1? I read that many people have done this, but not sure how it works when it's the first month.
Thank you!

Bonus miles are usually posted shortly after the statement date, whatever yours is. Maybe 1-3 days.

Thanks Maui Time. I guess I won't know my statement date till I actually receive the card and activate it. Looks like it'll be close to the Dec 1 deadline but hope I can make it under the wire if the card arrives next week.

Applied 10/15, got confirmation email 10/18. The email said it was mailed and should be here within 4-7 days. I called customer service to ask because others in here have said they received theirs via UPS either overnight or 2-day, and the agent confirmed the card was sent regular mail on 10/17. Today, 10/20 my AA account was upgraded to the Limited Gold.
I'm hoping the card gets here before the 25th for my next trip.

Just want to say that I've had the card for a month now, and so far I'm impressed. Used it extensively while in the UK last week with no 3% charge like I get from Amex or other V/MC. Also, when other cards were declined (purchases in the UK or France without notice were declined because the card company thought the card may have been stolen) this one worked just fine.
I don't need the EQMs this year, but might next year to re-qualify for EXP as I won't be traveling much Jan-March.
I've had more than one person look over at the card while I was using it and make a comment like, "that looks like a fancy card" which always cracks me up.

baggage fees
I've been following this thread for awhile and certainly interested in getting the card. Just to clarify- this card only waives the first checked bag fee on domestic flights. Doesn't gold status waive two? thanks for sharing.
