I received the following offer from Citi in the snail mail today. Looked a lot like the balance transfer checks I get in the mail from them and almost shredded it instantly. It comes with an invitation number tied to my Citi HH VISA.

Not much of a bonus at all, especially since I rarely use the card (only where my HH Surpass AMEX isn't accepted
), but hey, free points.
