How long to get the BT checks? Doesnt look like you can do a bt online like the typical citi card...

Ok. thanks...I didnt see that link...a little different than the citibank site...

I just called the # on the Associated Bank card. Sorry, no Citi Divident Platinum Select, I have only had a PremierPass, UPromise (Rolled PP into this one), and now this one (rolled UPromise into this one)

Some reps are rather clueless abouut this, mine had to put me on hold for 20 seconds and ask someone else (I assume), but then got it done a minute later. You might just want to call back and try again.

just a question regarding consolidating credit lines. i was approved for this card (15k), and want to consolidate with a citi card with a 8k CL, but also with a 2k balance. how does the consolidation in this case work? i'm gonna guess that i would only be able to move around 5k? and also, consolidation does not change BT promotions for associated bank, correct?

I can't give you a definite answer on the first part, but I'd assume the 2k won't count in the 0% offer, so you'll be paying on the 0% first if you do that. I'm not sure how keen they are on consolidating partial CLs now, she basically told me that I'd have to close my UPrommise card, there was no partial way.

The BT promos aren't changed, my BT fee still said zero and the terms still said 12 months after first BT when I did my BT after consolidating.

- there WILL BE minimum monthly payments on the $19,000 which are 1.5% of the total balance.

Great info, I was expecting 2.5%!

Got my check today, card came yesterday. I deposited it this morning, but my bank is holding it for 11 days to clear. Although they did give me access to $100 immediately. LOL!

JUST deposited 25k into my citi ultimate savings account.

then i get this email making this deal even sweeter!

I wonder if this is a targeted promo or if anyone with a citi checking and ultimate savings account can participate...

It's open to all (first time customers) in Norcal at least. I thought about it - but $25,000 @ 3% interest for at least 6 months plus other requirements (like checking, direct deposit or bill pay, etc.) makes it only a marginally good deal.

duna said:Anyone else who was approved: size of CL with what FICO?

12k, 755 FICO. I'm itching to apply for another Citi card and do it again!

datapoint-

*successfully reallocated 10k from citicash returns into associates.

Then did a bt for 20k out of 25k line. Will be waiting for check this coming week along with my last citicash returns bonus check
