Hey! Thanks Yude!!....my limit is $13,000.00 and I noticed when I log in already it says WEMC...BUT when I go look at the cards on the site it still refers to it as a WMC so this is pretty interesting......


I'm getting the same thing.  It shows in my account as a WEMC but does not show an offering on Citi's website.  I'm very curious if CL, score or any other factor has something to do with the auto upgrade, especially so quickly.  This is even my first Citi card.

Yude is probably right about CL over 5K....and I still think Citi is doing this to distiguish itself from the Barclay US Air card that will be turning into an AAdvantage card soon..the Citi card will look pretty awesome with that silver MC logo!!!

Re: Citi AA card upgrade before 1st statement?!?

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'm out in the cold with you Yude. I have a $2.5k limit. Maybe if we tap loud enough on the window Citi will let us in. Smiley Sad

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...

Well, I feel a lil' warmer now knowing someone is out in the cold w/ me! Smiley Wink  Perhaps I should start begging Citi for a CLI for WEMC qualify, i've been pressing that luv button like there's no tomorrow (SP), no luck. Had the account for more than 6months, no signs of any luv yet Smiley Sad

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!
