When you write, "add money from my cc to my account," what exactly are you doing? Are you using the option Transfer->To Your Linked Accounts->Make a One-Time Transfer ? This is supposed to appear as a cash advance if the source is a credit card (which means you pay fees, plus earn no miles). So I figure you must be doing something else.
Also, however you're doing it, have you actually seen miles post from this? thanks.

Please let us know how you're doing this, if there are any fees and if you are getting miles.

Can I ask if anybody has had the 10,000 miles actually post yet?
I signed up for the debit card, bought something, and had a grand total of 9 miles post last month:
09/17/07 CBA DEBIT CARD PURCHASES 9 0 9
How long does it usually take for the 10,000 miles to post after the first posting of actual earned miles? How much longer should I wait before calling to inquire?
And, do I call the number on the back of the card? Or AAdv Cust Svc?

I just called Citi (signed up 7/16) and they were useless as expected. The guy said I had a week longer to go before I should call. I told them I would be out of town then, and he told me I should have signed up a week earlier.

This month's statement will be 3 billing cycles for me so if I do not see miles, I will call as well. I printed out the original ad and the number on it, "If you still have questions", is 800 374 9700.

I just sent another email complaining. I think it's a joke.
Btw, does anyone have a copy of this info from Feb? I signed up Feb 26, 07 If so can they pm me the code number or whatever it's called? Thanks

Mine haven't posted either. I've had to send repeated nastygrams to get them to give bonuses and offers in the past, looks like it will have to happen again.

My credit card is linked to my account. They are both citibank so I can do that. I'm supposed to get ff miles for it. I got them last time when I signed up. I just set up a transfer for the other day. No it will not incur fees, it didn't last time either. It's just added onto my bank account
If you're saying this worked, I may try a small test case.
Finally, I'm curious if it appeared as "Standard Purch" on your statement where you actually got miles. This is amazing. Thanks.

Even if you get the miles from promo, this account is too expensive to keep up---especially when many other places give you free checking accounts/debit card.

I have a linked Citi Aadvantage Mastercard. I figure that's your set-up also. Citi said transferring online would be a cash advance (no miles). If I attempt it, the website shows me the available cash advance amount, which enforces what they told me.

I only signed up for the 10K miles. I hate debit cards and plan to cancel before 12 months is up and switch back to the ATM card. $25 for 10K miles is a pretty good deal.

1-I did get the first 10,000 miles
2-I found the original email stating when I'll get what miles
LOLOLOL
So, if anyone needs the promo code or the email or anything from Feb let me know.
Peace,

Ok, my stupidity runs deep. I actually trusted that lady and now have a 'cash advance' on my credit card for $350. do NOT do what I did!!! As soon as I saw it I came here to let you know. Now........ what do I do? I hate to think of the charges I'll get. Perhaps I should start by ringing Citibank and complaining? Sheesh! Party never stops here.
Since your CC has been hit with this cash advance, I would advice you to call the Citi Creditcard directly and see what they can do for you. Let them know you got bad advices from incompetent bank CSRs. The Creditcard people "might" feel sympathetic and reverse the fees. I doubt it though. I don't think you can dispute the transaction at all, giving you did authorize and used it to cover the balance for Checking billpay.
Not sure if you use the linked CC regularly. If so, stop using it NOW and be prepared for the finance charges soon to kick in when your current statement closes. Pay off everything immediately on the very next day. Overpay the balance will be even better so the interests on the finance charge & cash advance will be covered and not accumulate more fees. It will take two billing cycles to clear up the "fee mess" so write another mental note to yourself to examine the bill when the next statement closes.
If I were you, I wouldn't use that linked CC until everything is clear up. Good luck!
