Citi is retiring the Citi Premier on May 9 and launching the Citi Strata Premier on May 16. The cards are virtually the same with some minor improvements for the Citi Strata Premier. It looks like it might be possible to get the bonus on both cards. This is because the terms on the Strata Premier are believed to say:
Bonus ThankYou® Points are not available if you have received a new account bonus for a Citi Premier ® or a Citi Strata Premier ℠ account in the past 48 months.
The key wording is that you can’t have had the new account bonus on either card in the last 48 months. So theoretically you could apply for the Citi Premier now and then wait to complete the spend to trigger the bonus after getting the Citi Strata Premier. The risk is that you won’t be approved for both cards, but in the past it has been possible to do this to get multiple bonuses on this card (the better option might even be to wait for the Strata Premier and try to double dip that twice).
