My pre-qualified offer didn't have the 18 month language either. After not receiving the bonus when I received the card, I called customer support who spoke with a nice supervisor who said that is standard across all cards within Citi and does not matter if it is stated on the terms and conditions or not as the system will not let you get the bonus because of a prior card.
