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.

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?

Then you got lucky. You applied just barely within the official 6 day time frame, and in your case Citi counted correctly. Not everyone is so fortunate.

I was asked to fill out and mail in form 4056-T. This is the first time I have ever been asked to send the form. I know what the form is for, and I don't mind Citi verifying my income.

However, I remember reading reports that Citi pulls your credit again after they receive form 4056-T. Does anyone have any experience with this? I don't want to have another pull for the same card. I'm just trying to find a way of avoiding another credit pull.

I applied on April 2nd, yesterday (4/22) sent them a quick message:

Hello, I see there is a new offer for 50,000 TYP points after spending $3,000 in the first three months, can you please match me to that offer?

and got a great response:

Your account is now enrolled in the promotional offer to receive 50,000 bonus ThankYouŽ Point(s) as long as you spend $3,000 by 07/02/2015.

Please allow 2 billing periods after you have made the necessary purchases for the points to appear on your statement. If they have not appeared after that time, please call us. For your convenience, our number is listed on the back of your card.

We appreciate your business and value you as our customer. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

what credit agency do they pull and is there a generally agreed upon number of inquiries that make them nervous? It has been a busy and productive year for me (mostly chase and amex with 3 citi execs) but wouldn't mind adding this card.

Same thing happened to me. Did you eventually receive an email?
