@HOKO, Thanks for the update that the offer is still available.

QUESTION FOR ANYONE– ARE THE ADDITIONAL 30,000 POINTS TO BE AWARDED AFTER SPENDING $15,000.00 ON THE CARD IN A YEAR MEAN THAT ONE MUST SPEND AN ADDITIONAL 15 GRAND OVER AND ABOVE THE INITIAL $3,000.00 FOR THE FIRST TRANCHE OF THE 30,000 TY POINTS, OR DOES IT JUST REQUIRE YOU TO PUT AN ADDITIONAL $12,000 ON THE CARD???

Thanks!

Branch offer for $350 AF and 60k points is still going strong. Applied and was approved last week (and I don’t have citigold)

Sarah,
I went to a branch last week and they still had the 60K / $350 AF offer.

Does anyone know if this offer is still available in the branches?

I went to branch, banker told me, for additional 30k points I have to have citi gold, because these points from citi gold checking. And after one year, the AF will jump up to $450 if I don’t have gold. Is that right?

Hey DoC,

I’m currently not a Citigold member. I live far from any Citi branches, so I cannot try applying in person for the 60k offer like Rapid Travel Chai did.

So my best option is to apply over the phone like Kenny did. However, it sounds like on the phone they might be pretty strict about needing to have Citigold.

My question is this: could I get a Citigold account, then do the 60k offer over the phone, and then cancel my Citigold account shortly thereafter? That way I’d only be out $30 from one month of fees with Citigold. Do you see any showstoppers or gotchas in this approach?

Thanks very much for your time!

DoC,

Thanks a lot for the heads up! I didn’t know there were any active offers right now.

You da man.

This sounds very tempting to me too. I’m unclear on a couple of things though. How do apps for the 3 types of TY cards impact each other? Can you get them all, one after another (within 8/65, of course), and if so, does it make a difference in which order you apply?

What are the rules about the airline gift cards? Do they always qualify for a statement credit, or is that a YMMV situation?

I don’t actually buy airline tickets 🙂 But I do transfer points to FF programs. Where would I go about selling the GCs, and what would the likely discount be to unload them?

William, on your fourth point about pulling the trigger, I think there’s reason to put less stock in this since you need to book directly over the phone with Citi, hence no ability to use portals or OTA programs. It still could be a reasonably valuable benefit under the right circumstances though.

Man, this offer is very tempting. I just got the Citi AA this month. I know if I did apply, they’ll pull Experian again. I believe I have about 7 inquiries on it, 4 of those within the last 6 months. Do you think I’ll have a problem? My CL on the AA was approved for 14k.
