Our Verdict
Normally you wouldn’t be eligible for this card if you’ve opened or close any other Citi Hilton cards (e.g this card or the Reserve card) within the last 24 months but this offer does not contain that restrictive language. If this rule doesn’t apply to you I’d recommend getting the Citi Hilton Reserve card instead as it comes with two free weekend nights and that’s a lot more valuable than 40,000 points (if you wanted points and no annual fee I’d just be patient as we regularly see 75,000 point offers on this card).
Be aware of are Citi’s application rules:
- You can only apply for one Citi personal card every 8 days
- You can apply for no more than two Citi personal cards every 65 days
- You can apply for one Citi business card every 95 days
- Some people being limited to one card every 60 days
Also be aware that Citi will no longer issue Hilton cards from 2018 onwards. I’m hopeful that we will see more of these no 24 month language links leaked if American Express purchases the back book from Citi as they will likely want to inflate their cardholder numbers. As always if you are thinking of applying or have any questions, make sure you read through this list of things you should know about Citi credit cards first.
We also pointed out this offer to our newsletter subscribers in November of last year. Just reposting and making it public due to the Hilton news.
