My impression is that the "retention offer" you get depends a lot on the amount of usage you make of the card; I suspected the OP's would not help much in that regard -- especially now that Citi seems to be less generous on these than in the past -- but I could be wrong. OP, if you want to explore this, there's a whole thread on the topic.
