No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I have a Citi Prestige card about to hit 1 year old, and wanted to convert to a fee-free card. Chase Sapphire Reserve is a lot better IMHO.
I called last week, and was told they couldn't due to a credit bureau block.
I have an extended fraud alert - for years, and the info in it is still correct. However, Citi said the CRA's were blocking any changes to my card until I update that info. Has anyone heard of such a thing? Incidentally, they said I can cancel the card no problem. The whole situation feels odd. Citi just approved me for a card in February with the same situation on my reports.
I just removed the extended FA, as I don't need it anymore. Equifax and Transunion were easy, Experian I sent the stuff by snail mail. Who knows when Citi will get some update from the CRA's.
Any ideas? Maybe an underwriting dept I can call to ask to do a soft pull to see the FA is gone?
Just curious why not keep both, and use the prestige for 4th night free and the reserve for everything else? I feel like the 4th night free pays for the card if you travel more than once a year.
Math doesn't work out for me, I'm sitting on heaps of airline and hotel miles so I have little use for what little the Prestige now offers.
