Just read ablout the sending limits - I was aware of the 1k but not the $500/transaction if checking not registered. I logged in today to send myself $750 from my wife's account which doesnt have a checking account registered and noticed it went into a pending status. Transactions have always processed fine with sendint $500 or below and less then $1k monthly. Wonder if I am in trouble with this particular transaction since it was over $500 or if it will eventually post?

Update: Posted. Just had to wait longer then normal...whew.

Interesting. Just got my AA card and used it on AP. How soon after hitting the min spend requirement do the miles for Citicards typically post? Is it instantly like Amex seems to be or is it when the statement in which you hit the minimum closes? Figure I'll try AP with some other charges to hit it and then if it doesn't post I'll have to use other means.

Never, but never, mention Amazon Payments and the word "comfy." The Spanish Inquisition has actually been known to use comfy cushions to torture the truth from old ladies and heretics! And heaven forbid you ever bring up the subject of the dreaded dish rack! What were you thinking? What were you expecting with such talk?:p

They told me the miles would post within a day of statement close once you have met the spend. That does sound quick for me, but I'll be looking out for them.

I haven't had any problems with them not posting in the past, just a warning signal to be aware of.

Yeah, I knew a girl in college like that...

Mike

me too. probably the same girl

Wow, NICE! This thread is going downhill real fast ;)

lol, too dang funny...

Why did you need to call them? Even with Citi's terrible website, you can still log on and add up purchases yourself, without giving your account unwanted attention.

Remember, NEVER call!

I don't think he was calling just to check how much he has spent towards spending requirments, but rather indirectly asking him if Amazon Purchase is counted as a regular purchase or cash advance.

Why? You have the whole month to do this thing. :)

Relax.

The card I have is jacked and it won't show up on the Citi website, the only way I can see a balance online is if I go straight to 'pay balance' and that only shows present balance. If I click on the card itself it errors out.

And its not about the calling in- its about Citi being able to see what you are doing, as proven by the call in. Also- you might notice (if your citi card is viewable online unlike mine) that Citi comments next to the AP transaction an inline advert 'need a cash advance? Try this feature' so they know whats happening...

Just trying to spread the awareness.

Any one else have a problem signing up for an account? I put in my SSN, whatever they asked for, but they say they can't verify it. I got an email asking me to enter a code when I login, BUT THERE'S NO PLACE TO ENTER THE CODE. Maybe cause my address is my college address and not my residential? I really don't want to have to call, anyone have any ideas whats going on or how to remedy this?

they do fully verify your address.

so, suggestion would be to use your permanent address and see if that helps.

I can understand this. Citi has to have the worst banking website in the world :mad::mad::mad:
