Application should be live at midnight I would suppose online.. We should see alot of data points of peoply applying tomorrow.. Based on approval stats/odds/limits will decide whether I will throw in an application.. Still kicking myself for never getting the Amex TU card and getting in by that method.. I still tend to believe the UW will be a bit more lenient than other citi cards, but only decent sample size will show whether that holds true.  Be interesting day tomorrow for sure as there will be tons of applications i am sure on this forum and data points.

I'm not sure if this is across the board, but I think you can't PC between network types (IE can't PC a Mastercard to a Visa - within a given lender).

Could be mistaken, but if so please let me know. I also have a Citi Thankyou Preferred and it sits in the old sock drawer because it is 100% useless given my newer cards. If they will let us PC it to the Costco Visa, I would definitely be able to use that.

My TYP is a Visa.. When I've called, they said that there systems wouldn't allow a product change until Monday. Some reps have said that it cannot be converted because it's a Store Card, whereas others have said it could depending on account eligibility. So we will find out for sure tomorrow!

Not applying but I'm glad Citi made the card more useful for Costco shoppers. I just am too impatient to wait a year for my rewards, plus every Costco around here is an absolute zoo all the time and unpleasant to shop in. I prefer BJs. Less crazy.

I've been waiting months for this card to go live. Time to come out the garden for this card.

Not all of us have BJ's.  . And as to zoo, if not shopping at Safeway, delivery, even with Amazon Prime, is preferred.    

However, why rush to app when Freedom is offering 5% Costco?

I wonder if citi will still decline for too many inq on this card... I want to tell DW to app for it because we shop there constantly and the 4% gas

What do they usually pull? And how many inquiries do they consider too many?
