Is there currently an offer for this card with a signup bonus?

Yes:
  • 50K TYP for $4K spend/3 months, $95 AF waived for first year. Open in private/incognito window for best results.
    • Offer not available if you have opened or closed a Preferred, Premier, or Prestige card in the past 24 months.


    Does anybody know when the signup bonus will increase?
    No. Please don't ask in the thread "just to double-check if anybody knows." Nobody knows.
    Can I see the number of TYP earned on an individual purchase?
    No. The best you can do is visit the Account Details page for your card to see how the merchant for a given transaction was categorized.

    We do not determine how merchants or establishments are classified, however, they are generally classified based upon the merchant's primary line of business.

Purchases not eligible to receive the additional ThankYou Points include, but are not limited to, purchases made at warehouse clubs, discount stores, department stores and convenience stores.
    You may earn ThankYou Points as long as your Card Account is open and current. If your Card Account is closed, you will not be able to earn ThankYou Points and you will lose any accumulated ThankYou Points that have not been transferred to your ThankYou Member Account. Balance transfers, cash advances, convenience checks, returned purchases, disputed or unauthorized purchases/fraudulent transactions, finance charges, Card Account fees, and fees for services and programs you elect to receive through us do not earn ThankYou Points unless otherwise specified.

    If you do not already have a ThankYou Rewards Member Account ("ThankYou Member Account"), one will be set up for you. ThankYou Points earned from purchases post to your Card Account at the close of each billing cycle, and at that time we will transfer the ThankYou Points you earned to your ThankYou Member Account. (Bonus ThankYou Points may take one to two additional billing cycles to post to your Card Account.) ThankYou Points are not eligible for redemption until they are transferred to your ThankYou Member Account. ThankYou Points may not be redeemed and may be lost if your Card Account is not open or current.
    What happens to my TY points if I close my card account?

Argh my wife was approved for this card 3 days ago on the old offer terms. Has anyone had any luck with getting matched to a new offer?

If the post after yours is correct, who knows what the rules are now. But since that's only 1 data point, I'd still wait the 8 days if I were you.
So if I wait the 8 days and the previous application was made on Saturday I should be good to go on Sunday then correct?

Citi has signed an agreement with MasterCard, and most of their own-branded cards will now be MasterCard. Premier appears on the MasterCard list:

Question not yet answered. Given contract language, can you get the bonus with one card already opened if you have had it for 18 months?

I applied for the prestige last week and was approved, and applied for this card today and was approved. I will get both bonuses after meeting the 3,000 on each card correct?

When did you apply last week for the Citi Prestige? Just wondering if you are a second data point that contradicts the 8/65 day application suggestion.

Actually, this information about 8/65 might be conflicting.

I applied for both cards 1 day apart and was approved.

Yes you were the first "exception" data point I was referring to and have seen. I am trying to confirm if mfloyd78 is a 2nd.

Hopefully somebody will chime in and disprove them myth.
