The Offer
Many readers let us know about a bonus offer they’re getting their Citi cards via email. These offers are being seen on various cards such as Prestige, Premier, Preferred, Hilton, AA, etc.
There are two versions of the offer:
- Get a $50 bonus after adding an Authorized User and spending $2,000 by 3/31/17
- Get a $50 bonus after adding an Authorized User and spending $3,000 by 3/31/17
Just bear in mind that Prestige charges a $50 fee for adding an AU card. There might be other cards have a fee as well.
Our Verdict
Assuming you see this on a card you put spend on anyway, it should be easy enough to add an AU and do the spend; hopefully, you got the $2k spend offer which is easier.
I’m not sure if the spend must be done on the AU card or if it can be done on the primary card too. [A commenter notes they confirmed that spend can be done on either card.]
Just beware that it could show up on your credit report and affect your 5/24 status.
There are also a bunch of other bonus spend offers being offered by Citi. You might even be able to double dip and do the spend offer and AU offer with one spend.
