Those AWAYn/TRAVELn/MILESn/FLYn links change ever few months, so in case Citi is withholding the promo if you use the same link twice, those might be safer. And/or in case Citi is changing the terms on links which no longer have a landing page, using a link where the app still matches the landing page sounds safer to me too.

links 16,17.18 get 404 error

Sorry, I found an old post from several ago and realized:

1. I'd pointed out the apparent death of 16,17,18 back then.

2. Then new ones I was thinking of never actually got added to the wiki before just now: TRAVEL5 (link 21) and TRAVEL6 (line 22).

Landing page: https://creditcards.citicards.com/us...omocode=miles6
app page: https://www.citicards.com/cards/cred...B=A&uc=ER9&t=t

Landing page: https://creditcards.citicards.com/us...mocode=travel5
app page: https://www.citicards.com/cards/cred...B=A&uc=EP7&t=t

Landing page: https://creditcards.citicards.com/us...mocode=travel6
app page: https://www.citicards.com/cards/cred...B=A&uc=EPG&t=t

I had actually mentioned two of those (TRAVEL5 and TRAVEL6) several weeks ago, but they got added to the wiki back then.

Just now i added all 3 of these to the wiki, but only in the short form (it expands automatically to a long form when you click it), as I think it's harder to make mistakes with the short form. And I left out the applications pages, because I'm starting to think that listing those can lead to more confusion (and maybe even harm) than good, since some people might not realize a landing page is dead if they don't click it, and it's not 100% clear that an application page will work as it did when there was a landing page once the landing page disappears (the application link may have be re-linked to another landing page with a slightly different offer!).

I've never felt the need for application page links, except for zombie offers. If there is still a working landing page, I'd prefer to see that and verify the offer is still documented right now (at the moment I'm ready to apply) as it used to be.

But these TRAVELn/AWAYn/MILESn/FLYn links are constantly being replaced, so I see no danger of being left with only a zombie offer with them (at least for personal cards).
