They also offered me cash or a cash card but I chose to put it on the new card for simplicity.

I got an approval notice today (7/1) which was dated 6/23 that says if I don't receive my card by June 30 to call them.
Now I'm stuck on hold for an hour.
EDIT: one activated online (active one) and two by phone (non-active ones) using the same home phone number.

Now isn't that an interesting fact to hear. Guess I'll be contacting again.

I partly blame it on Costco for not forcing more of a lead time for the prep of transfer & delivery on both servicers.
Obviously AMEX had 16 years to perfect their Costco customer relationship handling but you'd figure in the 21st century - things like website interface, statement archival & retrieval & payment handling would be more advanced & almost perfected.
In those regards: the Citi site has barely any payment info for me to do any serious home finance recons whereas the Amex site was full of vendor info for me to use as data research points.
Re: statements - my last month's billing statement was not available to be retrieved in PDF -wut what?? So I had to do my monthly recon off the onscreen barely there transactions download.
Re: Payments - could not make more than 1 payment from 1 bank account until funds have cleared pending status -which takes 2 days. AMEX allowed me to make multiple payments from any bank accounts up to 11.59 midnight same day credit. Cutoff time for same day credit for Citi is 8PM.
Needless to say I am already telling my wife the Costco Citi cash back % aren't worth the headaches & we will be limiting our purchases using this card to only Costco gas & Costco purchases.
Otherwise, we'll use our other cashback cards to handle restaurants & monthly bills.

As per my previous post, do you recall having to sign and send in any forms in order to use the Citi Costco card?
