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.

    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?

If you applied for the 50K and were matched for the 60K offer that could be part of the delay.

In the past I have seem the matches post as your original bonus (50K) and a separate bonus for the difference , in this case 10K
I applied for the 50k back in June, and had it matched. It took a while to get the card due to an address change, so this is the 2nd statement month, which had all $3500 spending on it all post to the same statement. The last $500 or so was in the last few days of the billing cycle.

I was approved Friday as well, and they sent an overnight UPS envelope Monday that they haven't even given to UPS yet. And I haven't received the card in the mail yet either.

Used SM to ask for a match after applying for the card at the beginning of August. Got the following response which is quite a joke (especially the bold which I added). Will consider the Twitter/FB/Phone Call Approach next since I'm well within 90 days

Unfortunately the offer to earn 60,000 bonus ThankYou Points was inadvertently made public and has since been corrected; new requests made after the offer was removed from our site will not be eligible for enrollment. Please be advised we do not honor links to our special promotional offers obtained from third party sites, blogs or forums.

We regret any inconvenience or difficulty this may have caused you. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

That's the same response I got, except they didn't have the bolded parts. But yeah, the 'social media team' seems more flexible. Like I said, when they called, it sounded like they were about to immediately credit me, but then saw I was at 94 days and had to put in a request. SM team seems pretty stern.

Well, that makes at least 3 of us. I was approved Friday. CSR said I would receive card in a week; confirmed bonus and credit line. I too have not received even the letter yet.

Thanks for the data point. I guess I won't worry for another 5 days then since mine was approved on the 28th.

I got a notice from UPS that the delivery date has changed to Tuesday. And it looks like Citi actually handed it off to UPS this time.

UPS overnight letter confirming approval was dated 8/27, said to call if card not received by 9/3. Called in this morning w/ no card - they said was mailed 9/3, and apologized for the delay, but I should expect the card around 9/14 (?!) I asked if it was being mailed from Russia, and they checked and said it actually wasn't going to be "put in the mail" until today.

Figured I'd parlay this into getting the 60k/3.5k upgrade (applied 2 days before the "non-public" offer was public, under the 50k/3k offer) - she put in a request and said to call in to activate, as opposed to online, when I receive the card and to ask them to check the notes then for the better offer.

Will update, but for those that haven't gotten the card yet - call to complain (she even threw in 1k TY points for the trouble) about the delays.

OK, so it's not just me...I got an approval letter that was shipped UPS overnight (approval on 8/29, notified by UPS on 9/3, received on 9/8).

I thought it was going to be the cards, so I put a pause on some of my MS activities. Now it'll probably be received via USPS next week? Strange...not sure why you'd UPS a letter but send the card by postal mail.

Wow. I applied for the 60k offer and got approved on Sept. 1, and just now checked back on this thread. I did not bother to get a screen shot of the offer. I had to call in and have them move credit around with my existing cards, and the approval I see online only shows my credit line and interest rate.

At this point, I wish I had gotten the screen shot. I also wish I had the agent confirm the promotion during the chat. I guess now I just need to wait until I get the card to confirm the promotion. Hope I got it!

Last month I too got the letter very quickly, and then the card came much later.

Can we add this card to an existing login or do we need to create another login for TY cards?
