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.

Just wanted to post a couple of data points:
1) My wife and I applied for the Prestige and got them in mid-July. In the first statement:
2a) I spent about $3550 + AF = $4000. Of that amount, about $350 was on airfare, and $350 was credited back by the merchant.
2b) I got the $250 airline credit on the first statement itself (purchase posted on 8/10 and credits on 8/12).
2c) I had about $2900-2950 in net purchases: $3550-350 from the merchant = $3200-250 credit = $2950ish.
2c) I still got the 50k bonus. With the AF the total bill on the first statement was about $3400 ($3401 IIRC).
3a) My wife spent about $1500 during the same time, about $300 on airfare. But while I had a single purchase that was above $250, she did not; she had $140 + $160 (or so)
3b) She did not get the $250 credit (yet). Airfare purchases posted on 8/9.
For what it's worth.

Automatic denial = success
I had read several past postings about folks getting the flat-out denial after on-line application... and then the card showing up, or otherwise discovering they had gotten the card.
But since I hadn't seen one of these postings lately, I have to admit that I was starting to sweat it after my wife got the "Sorry, no soup for you" on-line response and then silence. We did hold on, and six days later (= 4th business day following) a welcome to Citi Prestige e-mail (and obscene credit line -- I had been wondering whether not first reducing her Premier line had messed things up) has shown up.
So keep the faith!

Questions about buying airline giftcards and miles have been combined with similar questions from other threads:

I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned, but does anyone know how long it generally takes for the bonus points to show up in your account? I met the minimum spend in 2 weeks, paid the bill early, and my statement closed last Wednesday. One of their reps said the points would be there within a few days but still nothing. I have a flight on hold for two weeks (Air France) and need to get the points posted soon so I can transfer them. Any info about timing would be appreciated. Also, has anyone ever successfully gotten then to "push" the points through earlier than they otherwise might appear?

No Airline credit for WOW air purchase
One data point:
Bought couple of airline tickets from WOW air. Have been told that WOW air posts as *travel operator* and their merchant code does not qualify for airline travel credit.

Is the $250 airline credit automatic after purchase or do I need to call/email? Also, if I spend $20 or so on a Southwest ticket because the rest was covered with miles, will Citi issue a $20 credit automatically with $230 remaining?

Just made my first airline charges (3 separate charges totalling $130) in August. The credit from Citi was processed automatically on the day the statement was generated. Statement shows that I've used $130 of the $250 credit.

Applied and approved just now after moving credit around. Told it would take up to 7 days to receive the card.
Does anyone know if this is just the standard garbish. I am hoping the card will arrive by Saturday as I have an awards booking on hold till September 12th.
Anyone received the card earlier than 7 days?
