I got this same offer on my Premier. $625 going onto my Serve, assuming it's still alive on the 3rd.

[...] Withdrawing my cash advance question as it was noobish, and researched it instead. That's what I get for posting when I'm busy!

Alas, my Preferred offer is only up to 2500 points, but it's better than nothing!

My first statement after a full year of 5x posted. I had put some drug store charges on it just in case, but did not receive any bonus points.

So from your experience, when does 5x end? Is it 12 months from application or card activation? Is the last month of 5x the close of the 12th statement?

I got 5x right up to the final charge on my 12th statement, which was made a few days before statement close and over a year after approval. YMMV.

I can't find original thread about Citi TY card from last year with x5 points in drug stores. but my question is when does Citi cuts off 12 month promo? I got approved on June 6th, so would my x5 earning potential end on June 6th '14 or closing cycle for that month? Any idea?

I got 5x all the way to the last day of the account year, so you're good at least until June 5th. No idea if 6th would still count.

Approved on 5/10/13.
First statement was 5/10/13-6/10/13.
12th statement was 4/9/14-5/8/14.

All bonuses on the final statement posted. But, I also had a charge on 5/7 and 5/8 that had not cleared/posted before the statement posted. Will have to wait till next month to see if I get credit for them.

All charges that posted before 05/10/13 are qualified for 5x. The ones that posted after 05/10/13 was not qualified for 5x.

Confirmed that they are uncapped!

Received the following offer in the mail today:

Citi Thank You Preferred:

5x on Gas, Groceries and Drug Store until 09/30 and 6000 Bonus Points on Enrollment


Citi Prestige:

5x on Airline Tickets, Car Rentals, Hotel Stays until 09/30 and 5000 Bonus Points on Enrollment

I have these cards since last December and only use Prestige for Travel purpose
These offers are on the new Citi preferred card? Not the old 5x card? I'm still leaning toward another Citi app and premier has my interest with the bonus. But I don't rather care for the spending categories.

OK, my latest statement just closed. I signed up for the card on April 15, 2013 but don't remember when the first statement closed. It might've been in May 2013. Anyway, my 12th statement closed on April 23, so I figured I was done. I made a couple CVS purchases with this card after that statement closed (4/24, 4/28) just for the heck of it, then stopped because I didn't want to put large spend and get 1x TYP. However, my May 23 statement (13th statement) closed yesterday, and I did get 5x! A missed opportunity... Which now makes me wonder how I should approach this. Should I go hard this upcoming month and hope for the best? Or will 5x be done for sure now? What would you do?

Called to cancel and got offered 2 extra TY points per $1 spent (i.e. 3X on base spend, 4X on dining and entertainment). Meh ...

Took the words right out of my mouth.


Has anyone converted this card to something else?
