I had read somewhere that it was once your total hits 10k including fees, then they need SSN. Someone said they did 9 x $1,000 and one more for $950 and then they didn't have to give SSN. But I might be wrong, so someone here can confirm what I'm stating.

What credit cards are you guys using for your 1000 vgcs? The Citi Double Cash? I was thinking of using my CIC for now since i don't have that card. 1.5x isn't so bad for now

- This deal is only available in-branch and Citizens Bank branches are in the northeast (in CT, DE, MA, MI, NH, NJ, NY, OH, PA, RI, VT. Branch locator)
- Citizens is not known for its stellar customer service
- Citizens is known to often give very low CLs (I did see a report today of someone getting a CL near $20K, but a lot more reports of $500 CLs)

Just left my go to Simon and the CSR confirmed that the 1k VGC promo for consumers will end on 12/31. If you have a corporate account you can still purchase the 1k VGCs.
