Once again reported that all links with sign up bonus are dead. Reported on Dec 5, and again on Dec 10.
Reported on Nov 4, 2017 that no offers for a Prestige card with any sign up bonus at all exist anymore. The links below do not work. Even if you get to a landing page, the link to the app page will list either "page not found", or "system error". You might want to check back at some point, since the sign up bonus for the Premier disappeared for a while, and is now back (although for only 30K instead of 50K).
Prestige Cards have a $450 annual fee, not waived first year.
There is also an additional fee for each additional user.
Top Prestige Card Offers
1) 75k Bonus Landing Page after $7,500 spend in 3 months. $450 fee Not Waived first year
2) 50k Bonus Landing Page/rightclick/incognito mode after $5000 spend in 3 months, $450 fee Not Waived first year; This offer will only show in incognito mode, it has to be a new session, as the offer, app link won't load otherwise.
3) 40K Bonus 4k in 4months
Other, not so good, offer:
Application page for Citi Prestige MC offer for 40K miles after $4000 spend in 3 months $450 fee Not Waived first year, No landing Page for this link.

How is customer service horrible? It's a pretty simple process I can't imagine what could go wrong. The call has never taken more than a couple minutes.
As far as online goes, I linked my Prestige the other day I finally got an explanation why that never works. The rep said every piece of information needs to be exact, and usually the phone number is the culprit with formatting like (xxx) xxx-xxxx vs xxx-xxx-xxxx, or xxxxxxxxxx. North vs N, Road vs Rd, etc all screw it up, and the system requires verification because of the inconsistency. I agree that part has room for improvement.

I called in and got a guy who was either half asleep or whispering the entire time. I told him my issue and he was like "uh okay" and then cue 5-6 minutes of awkward silence. I kept asking if he needed anything from me and he would just be like "uhhh". After a bit he told me to try again and it worked but damn get some people who know how to communicate.

A call to the customer service line was useless. Though the initial email said I'd be getting the card FedEx'd within 3-business days, the rep could not find or produce any FedEx tracking number and said that the card could take up to 18 days to arrive, but since this was a premium card it "usually comes faster."
Is this normal or do most get it within the 3-day window. I need this card for a specific purchase.

As far as bonuses go, I have seen data points on getting the Premier bonus after 18 months with another premier open. I have not seen any data points of anyone even attempting to get the Prestige bonus a second time while having the first one still open - except MMS, who failed, because he didn't wait 18 months.
Seems to me like it should work for Prestige if you go by the t&c, but it's an expensive risk so it's reasonable we don't have any data points on it. However, the 18 month language is very clear it should be eligible.

I thought mine was screwed up too when I got an overnight package with everything except the card, and didn't receive the card until the next day. A few days ago I recall seeing somebody the same thing happened - benefits came in one or two days, then card the day after. Guess that's their system.

I'm intrigued by your post because it sounds like a similar situation I am in. Applied for the Prestige card online very early Monday morning (~7am ET) and was approved instantly. Got an email to address I gave for the account which stated the Prestige card would be FedEx'd to me in 3-business days. That would have been yesterday, Thursday 4/7. Yesterday comes and goes and I get nothing. However, the very next day after applying I was over-nighted a package with a one-sheeter stating again I'd been approved and my card will be following this package.

The original question was only if it was possible to have two TYP cards open of the same type at once, and the answer is yes.
As far as bonuses go, I have seen data points on getting the Premier bonus after 18 months with another premier open. I have not seen any data points of anyone even attempting to get the Prestige bonus a second time while having the first one still open - except MMS, who failed, because he didn't wait 18 months.

If by keeping this open, I can get a second one in 6 months with another sign up bonus, instead of waiting 18 months if I close this one now, paying the $100 is well worth it....
Anyone have data points on getting a second Prestige sign up bonus while the first Prestige is still open?

First of all, if we pay a second AF to not have closed a card in 24 months, there is nothing to prevent Citi from changing the waiting period to 36 months next year before we are able to reapply. Or even going to a AMEX-like 'once in a lifetime' rule after having suckered us into renewing the first card.
In which case I'd be out $100. Unless I don't have the airline fees in time to get the statement credit, then I'd be out $350.
Even assuming they don't change the rules again for over a year, my due date on the AF is May 1st. So I have to pay $350 now, and assume I will have $250 in airline charges by April 1st next year to get the 2017 statement credit to post before I need to cancel the first card to avoid paying the 3rd AF on it.
