Link to Existing TYP account
For those of you already have existing TYP account, how do you link the new card to the existing TYP account?
Does it automatically show up in your existing TYP account A Few Days after it is being activated?
Or, you need to manually perform the Add Citi Account function to link it?
Currently the new card does not show up as a Sponsored Account, and is not recognized by the TYP site as a valid Citi Account to be added...
On the phone with Tech Support now who does not seem to know what is wrong.

Additionally, what CLs have persons here been getting upon approval? Mine was around $9k and that is a lot lower than what the Exec has been approving me for. My total Citi exposure was around $15k before this card, which is the lowest it has been in a long time.

They offered to open my Premier with $2000 and would only allow me to move a max of $6600 even though I wanted to move $10,000 from an executive card that had $17,000 on it

Does anyone have an idea how long this offer will last? I would like to apply for it, but would prefer waiting a little awhile if it is going to be around.

Whenever they say that I always call back and ask them if there is anything else I can provide to expedite. Always seem to find someone who pushes it through and I have never had to wait the xx days.

She could see the card on the card side, but could not see it on the TYP side. She had to check with her supervisor, then came back to tell me this was a system glitch. Once the card has earned TYPs, it would get assigned a TYP ID which they can see (but we may not). Then they can merge the new ID with the existing ID. Until that happens, nothing would make the new TYP card shows up under the existing TYP ID.
We could have met the spend in 2 days before the short cycle statement date of Jul 6th as we have 2 large cruise payments to make. But I am going to hold off the payments and let the first statement closes with the couple hundreds airline fees. It is better to only have 1000 TYPs have no home to go to, then to have 56500 TYPs floating inside Citi's blackhole.
Oh yeah, the Premier card CL is 4.5K lower than the previous 5 or 6 Citi cards (HH and AA) which all have identical CLs.

Has anyone found gas stations that have Visa cards that can be loaded up to $500? I stopped by my BP near me today and was surprised they didn't carry any gift cards.

Called the number on the back of the card, and was given another 800 number to call TYP. This one got a rep based in Jacksonville, versus overseas.

Still waiting for ANY TY points to post--including 50k sign-up bonus. What gives?
I got the Citi Premier ThankYou card in early June. I spent over $4700 in the first few weeks, ensuring that I spent the $3k required to earn the 50k bonus TY points. To date, I've paid off the card in full (as of June 17, which posted online), and yet I still have received no TY points at all.
When can I expect those points and the bonus 50k to post?
