in the same boat (and city!) as you CatJo.. hopefully there is a way to clear up these cash advances. Besides the obvious annoyance it's a tad worrying that it stays as a cash advance for so long.

Imagine if something within the Citi setup changes and it's treated as a real cash advance? Those fee's are quite obnoxious..

I called Citi and set my Exec CA to 0; still no go to load the TD Go. Will try again in a few days...

Wouldn't you need it to be >>0 instead of =0?

That's what I thought, but many others have successfully set their CA to 0 and had no issues loading the TD Go.

I think we're getting conflicting reports about whether the load initially posts as CA or not on Citi Execs. Are you sure these people are not referring to their other Citi AA cards? For example, my platinum select does not seem to initially process the load as CA - it processes as a regular purchase, posts faster, and doesn't eat up credit/CA advance limits unlike all my other Citi Exec cards. Also, are you sure they're not referring to the US Bank Visa Buxx? Because that also codes as a purchase from the get go and does not tie up cash advance limits.

I called Citi Exec today to find out why my loads were not going through with TD and they confirm that my CA limit has been reached and until TD comes and takes the funds from them, it will stay as a pending charge that impacts the CA.

My CA on this card is 3K but this is my second AA Exec card. I wonder if I use my first AA exec card to load TD, that will count towards meeting the spend req on the second card. Perhaps I need to ask in the AA forum.

This!

I think having all Buxx posts commingled in one single thread is a bad idea because apparently many folks got confused between USBuxx and TD Buxx, and in this case I am fairly confident to say, Citi regular AA does NOT behave the same way as Citi Exec AA based on posts here, exactly as you point out.

Why can you not see you CA limit online?

You have 3 line items displayed in your account details - Payment, Purchase, Cash Advances - anytime the Cash Advances show a number, that means your pending Cash Advances have NOT dropped off. It should be a 0 - not set to 0, but 0 being used up!

Your available credit line also should be a telling number to give you a clue if any of the available credit is being eaten up by pending cash advances.

Obviously you would need to do some math yourself as Citi's site would not tell you straight up, but you can figure this out if you know how to analyze the numbers.

Setting CA to 0 meaning TD's transaction could not go thru.

I wouldn't do that. See below.


I guess I'm not the only one :p

Simple solution....divorce Citi. I ******* hate that bank.

To earn bonus? No. (and if you even have such thought, you need to study Credit Card 101.)

To earn EQM, if you know what EQM stands for, Yes.

Why? Thought Only NW buzz can't work with Citcards as they treat them as CA

Is anyone here in the military and tried using an APO/FPO to get the TD Bank Go Buxx card? APO/FPOs are some of the few "states" that they deliver to. I could always list my work address as an FPO and hope it makes it through the mail clerks to me.

If no one has tried it, I'm willing to be the guinea pig :)

Please seek help for loss of common sense

It's been known that spend across cards will count towards the 40k spend needed for the 10k qualifying miles. If that is true, then Citi is tracking spend across cards.
