I didn't receive any bonus language in any documentation either, but when you login to the site, you click on your miles summary, and you will see the offer there if you have one.

so you see the bonus tracker online even though you did not receive the bonus mention on the letter that came with the card? this looks like a new data point. i thought if the letter does not mention the bonus, then there is no bonus tied with the account.

2) Anyone have any luck having Citi retroactively apply a targeted promotion a couple days after approval?

Applying for my 5th card Citi Platinum today using a targeted mailed offer meant for my brother. It's my first application since the Feb 10 fiasco and I'm quite concerned because I had just recently cancelled all the other 3 WE cards I had, and the mailed offer I used already expired in February.

Jan 28 Citi Platinum #4 applied and approved
March 20+ WE converted
March 28 Citi Platinum #5 applied using targeted mail code for my brother

My card was approved but not instantly. They put me on hold for like 5-6 minutes! Has this happened to anybody?

Hoping to get the bonus language. Citi sent my brother 2 targetted offers and I plan to use them all!!! :)

Call to confirm the 50K bonus and said NOT eligible since I closed my 3rd AA card 12 months ago :(

SM'd them and they said that the bank account funding does not count because it's a cash advance even though it processed as a purchase.

So going forward, do not expect Citi bonuses to be triggered by bank account funding anymore.

More details please. What card? Churned card at all? What bank account funding?

Need some other data points from other to corroborate this too.

I have the AA Plat card - it is coming up on the 2nd year annual fee. There was recently fraudulent spending on the card. Citi caught the fraud and called me. Of course the account was closed for security reasons, and Citi sent me a new card with new numbers. Would this reset the 18 month clock? I was thinking about applying for a 2nd AA card before the fee came due.

Also, if I am not offered retention bonus, does downgrading this card to bronze reset the 18 month clock?

On your online account for the transaction in question after selecting the "expend details" link what is listed for the "category" & "transaction type"?
