If I had wanted to do that sort of thing, I would've skipped college and just gone ahead and taken a job bolting parts -- the same one over and over again -- at an auto plant somewhere.
Also, you know that there are entire Flyertalk threads devoted to the subject of getting shut down, right?
And you know that there are other ways to spend time, right? Such as with your children or with Remembrance of Things Past or (even) with your spouse?
I really have zero patience for that sort of thing. But I'm glad, of course, that it works for you.

2) That whole process takes less than 1 minute and there is a Target that is a 3 minute drive from my house. So I missed out on 7 minutes with my family that day. They will live.
3) I'm glad you have zero patience for it. That means it will last longer for those of us that do have the patience. Enjoy burning $12k on whatever it is you spend it on while the rest of us get miles and points for 7 minutes time.

QQ: I'm a fairly active CC churner (every 91 days) and applied for this card in branch yesterday. However, they have to fax in the app which could take 3-5 days to process. I was trying to time my other CC apps to the same day that Citi pulls my credit, but don't think I will be able to due to schedule conflicts. My question is this...
What are the odds Citi will reject my app if they see 2 new hard pulls on my credit within a couple of days of this card being applied for? I know it's a YMMV, but curious if there are any data points.
TIA

30k/60k offer is still available in branches as of 2/21. Planning to apply this week.
If you're Citigold and travel a lot, I think this card is a no-brainer given the travel credit, multipliers for certain airlines, Global Entry fee reimbursement, 15% annual bonus pts etc.

do you think it is worth it to just be a citigold for a several months in order to get this offer? Don't want to put 50k with Citi, but if paying 30bucks can get me this extra 30k and reduced AF, I might as well give it a try..
Does anyone try it?

One possible option would be to apply for the TY Premier also (if Citi will let you have both). That will give you 20k points with the first year annual fee waived ($95). At the end of the year you could cancel and keep the Prestige. You'll end up with 50k points (30k for Prestige + 20k for TY Premier) after only spending $4K. The in-branch offer requires you to spend $15K (in addition to meeting the Citigold requirements).

I am wondering if it is possible for me to just apply for CitiGold for like 1-2 months, so that I have enough time to apply for prestige and then downgrade it or whatsoever... I searched for a bit and I don't see anything that said I cannot downgrade after 2 months, but I would like to confirm with you guys before actually doing it..
again, thanks for your reply.

If anyone have sucess in the BOS area without being CitiGold, I would love to hear about it.. Thanks in advance..

That's pretty much what I did. Had a 40k citigold offer. Opened that account, waited for the points to post, applied for the citi prestige card, and will downgrade my citigold next month. You may have to pay $30 one month though in fees if the points don't post in time and you haven't gotten the bank fees waived.
