Thanks for the update, I just checked my citi AA account and I have the same message too, so I will wait and see how long it will take for this card to arrive but I am really interested in the citi executive world elite I am wondering if I can upgrade to that card probably to soon as I have only had this card for 4 months now.....


Congrats on YOUR upgrade....why would you want to PC for the Executive....you would miss the sign-up bonuses that are out there...100K and 60K depending on what you can put on the card in 3 months? You are allowed to have both Platinum and Executive, and the Platinum gives you 10% rebate on used award miles that the Executive does not.....I would hate to see anyone miss out on Bonus miles if they can get them.....


I know what you mean it is a nice deal, but for me I doubt I will be approved going cold app, I already have 3 cards with Citi total over 40K probably at my threshold...


I hear you, I have 4 cards with Citi now, the two AA cards (Platinum and Executive) are new (my company switched to American so I had to get them - I fly for work alot)....I was able to move credit around from my exisisting Citi Cards when I applied for the Executive....granted I have been a customer with Citi along time and my scores are high....just thowing out options for you, you know your situation best! 


Hey thanks for the tip, I' ll try app for the executive and just move credit over from my preferred thanks for the idea....

no problem, I did alot of research on the card and found out you just need to be approved for a $5K limit then when they approve you (in most cases, like mine, you have to call in to finish the application) the CSR will ask if you want to move any exsisting credit to the new executive card.....I moved from my dividend and HHonors.....Good luck if you apply!!!

I would definitely call Citi on this issue, especially if you have a 10K limit, I do not see why your card should not be upgraded does not make any sense......

I think there may be more to it than just CL. What? I'm not sure. So far, I'm not seeing a stand out consistency.

When were you approved and what's your CL if you don't mind my asking?
