are only some eligible for Citi's American Express Two Card account feature ?

Earlier this year, some Citi World Mastercard Dividend Platinum Select customers received an unexpected surprise -- Citi has a feature that it calls a Two Card account which means that a Citi American Express card is linked to your Citi credit card.

 

Since we shop at Costco a lot, I thought it'd be great to request this feature for my Citi Visa Dividend Platinum Select account. I logged in to my account and sent a secure message.

 

I got this reply:

 

"To better assist you, we need to speak with you directly. Please contact us at [...]
Thank you for using our website."

 

Since they won't give me a straight simple answer online via secure message, then I don't want to have my time wasted calling about it.

 

So are just certain accounts eligible ?

I've never heard of this, but I'm curious, how does this show on your CR, as two different TLs, or just one ??

 

Also, FYI I don't have a Citi MC.

Isn't it more or less a complimentary card, not really a PC?

 

They sent the GF one and left me hangin', LOL! I was quasi-annoyed but always forget to ask for one when calling customer service about other matters.

Citi's website has been horrible to use for about two months.
