Now, I don't really want the Forward card...I would prefer the Diamond MC w/15 mos zero int...do you think they will change it?


I don't know how Citi is with PCs (hopefully others can weigh in), but especially after recon, I would just keep it. If it's any help, I have a Forward and on my Citibank account page, it says that I have a BT offer available. It's actually kind of nice because I can control when it is added to my card. None of my options are 15 months, but I do have a 0% APR BT and new purchases offer. If that is all right for you, I would see if you get that and if not then start  looking into switching to the Diamond Preferred.

I have Citi AAdvantage AMEX. I messaged regular CS and got 0% on both BT and purchases for a year. Give it a try on your card. You may be surprised.

Just spoke to Exec Ofc...I would have to wait to receive Forward card, before asking for a different card, and I would not be eligible for any promotions until they are offered. I'm gonna accept the Forward card and work with it for now and PC later...i'm thankful for the recon success!
