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.

    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?

I added it to the same one that has the AAdvantage accounts. The Double Cash card I converted from an Executive card is also on this one.

Ok, thanks. If Citi can get their act together I'll have this card by the end of the week. I think 2 weeks seems to be par for the course with Citi.

And I got an email today telling me my statement just closed haha. Hopefully I get the card before the weekend.

When my app was approved I had the option to activate the card and copy down the card numbers to use right away. Looking back I should've done that. I had 2k+ regular spend over the weekend that I could've put on the Premier card. Oh well. Hindsight and all...

FYI social media team told me that they approved my match and I should be expecting 10K points. Didn't see it today, but they said if not immediately posted, it should at least come next statement.

Which one did you contact? I tried twitter and they had to set up a time for a rep to call. Denied the match.

Twitter. My card was just over 90 days old, so it wasn't considered 'new' but they put in a request and this request was approved.

I was told I was matched two weeks ago and it was on my account. Since then hit both $3000 and $3500 thresholds, but only got the 50k bonus on my newest statement. Will call them when I have a chance.

Just out of curiosity, are those of you that are getting letters by UPS asking for expedited shipment? I have always gotten cards and letters from Citi by USPS. I am asking because I have a trade show to go to soon, and it would be much better to have the USPS deliver a letter to my locked mailbox than to have UPS leave a letter on my porch.

Thanks.
