I applied for Citi ThankYou preferred card for students. The application was online and being a non resident alien, i selected this option. The app went on and ran a credit check on my social. Later the application was denied. I called the reconsideration line and she told me that that the application i submitted was not for nonresident aliens. Why would they allow me to complete the application and run a credit inquiry and then after all that tell me that the application was not for me.
