The best of both worlds were the leaked no 24-month language links end of 2016 into 2017. 60k offer for $3k spend and AF waived and plenty of links available with no mailer codes/etc. And Citi had not yet started triggering a million fraud alerts. Unfortunately, Citi has now made it near impossible to spider for links. They throttle based on IP address, user agent, and even geolocation. Thankfully, the mailer codes are plentiful.
