Up to you but don't worry too much. As has been repeatedly noted, as long as you have a good reason for wanting both cards that doesn't involve the bonus, Citi generally has no problem giving you both cards. Seems to be bugging you, so call.


In the approval letter for Visa, there is no mention about annual fee being waived for the first year. It just says the fee is $125. I thought I applied for the offer with first year annual fee waived, but am I wrong?
I noticed the same thing. If you go back to the application, in the terms, it says the fee is waived. Would be worth your time to take a screenshot of that. But I'm not aware of anyone using this offer and having the fee charged.

Yes 50k for the Visa and 50k for the Master card. It's in the Credit card master thread and has it's own thread in Credit cards.

50k each (MC+ Visa)
 
+1

I applied a few weeks ago using the links available in the FT thread. On receipt of the cards, the reps confirmed that the bonus was indeed 50k for each card. Good luck!

Thank you everyone. I figured there was a much much better offer I just did not see it.

Yes I know about the 2 browser thing for Citi cards. thank you

Mods you can delete the thread if you wish. I just wanted to make sure.

Did two-browser trick. Instant approval for both. Interestingly, the "2nd" app (clicked Submit about 2 seconds after) showed a 4 pts lower Equifax score.

Just happy to get 10k more than the pre-approved offer that showed up in the mail a few days before applying.

The MC was approved as well - just got the letter in the mail yesterday! Thanks again to post 603!

Thanks for your reply! I just called recon line, but they cannot approve the second card due to too many recent inquiries! This is my first denied application and my score is 770, but it is true that I've had 3 cards open in the last two months (2 more in the recent 6 months), so I can't argue with too many inquires...
I don't know whether I should call again or write to the executive office as some of you have done, but it sounded like it's not easy to get approved for the second card.

It's really not clear which is the better strategy. Citi can be a tough nut to crack. If you're good with the written word, I think it's definitely worth a try. But I've also had some luck with working through the phone system, trying multiple supervisors until someone gave me a fair hearing. (The better technique probably depends on where your own strengths lie.)

Is the 50k bonus still available? I only see the 30k
