I have abour $400 stuff still in pending status after several days, and my payment is due 8/3, so I tried to pay more than the balance Citi shows and it wouldn't allow me to pay anything beyond current balance online.
I am going to call in and try to make the payment for the greater amount today. Will post whether I succeed.

You'll get a much better, more patient reception here if you read post #2 first. Asking questions that are answered there -- especially after you've already been told to read post #2 -- is very bad form. So please read post #2 first.
Thank you.

I take it there is no problem in doing this - they don't look into your account (as if you are trying to get round your limit somehow) and miles post as normal for the total amount of the purchase?
Edited to add: The transaction I had in mind to make would be greater than my credit limit but would be within the total of my credit limit plus the prepayment I had made. (e.g. a $3000 transaction, where the credit limit is $1000 and I had pre-paid $2000). Would there be any issues with this being authorized?

Haven't others posted that creating credit balances is a bad idea as it ids accounts as potential fraud tools (or was that just Chase)?

Personal amex gave this error just now:
Guess we'll have to call too see if this app went trough at all...
A system error has caused a delay in processing your application. Please try again later.

Of course of all days he had to apply on the day their system was down. I hope this has no effect on him getting the right promo. I called them today to check on status of my pending application from a week ago and was told by CSR their system is down but should be back up later today.

Citi rep said that their systems were down, and they were hoping to get things back online some time today. The rep assured that the application information does not need to be re-submitted, but I may check again tomorrow just in case.

OH NO! I got approved saturday for both personal cards, and I called today to confirm that the offers were for 75K miles. They told me thier system was down, but they could see i have a closed Hilton points card from earlier this year..... will that disqualify me from being a "new customers?" btw- I read post #2 ;-)
