UPDATE: I called and was informed the letter was sent the 13th and the card the 18th. So, the letter's going to take at least a week to arrive; the card better be faster than that...

Just called and got matched. The rep was very familiar with this offer and explained that it should not be publicly available, and they are trying to eliminate it. The rep also told me that they're not going to do this for anybody else after me (?), and so warned me to tell any "friends" I may have that wanted to call and match that it wouldn't work. It seemed like they were getting a lot of calls about this (I also had a long time on hold).
Strange call overall, but glad to get matched. I have a Citi Private Bank account, but that did not come up during the call.

I was one of those who got matched for 60k offer by a friendly agent who said another 10k would be added to my account but now I received a letter informing me that the 60k offer was an erroneous offer and I would not get the extra 10k.

Did anybody who originally applied for 50k but were matched with the 60k offer get the extra 10k bonus?

I got an email and a US mail both confirming that I will not receive these points as the offer was in error.

Interesting - I sent a tweet a couple of weeks ago that Citi responded to and spoke with a CSR who confirmed he would match. Will wait and see what happens.

RE: match - called at activation and was told to wait 8-10 days for letter, will report back, but now not so sure based on above.
RE: physical card - I've had for a little over a week - is it just me or is this thing just too frustrating? I tried to use in DC Metro kiosk - took 4 tries to figure out which way to insert into slot - have had 3 instances where I needed to hand the card to a clerk to swipe (as opposed to a terminal for me to use), each time they were confused and I had to point out the magnetic strip location.
Someone mentioned upthread they saw an image change on the website - gosh I hope they re-issue these cards.

So I got my offer matched - they added 10k to my account. However, that 10k is not transferrable out of my TYP account. Is this normal?

Yes. Start reading at post 109 in this thread, where another poster discovered that 5,000 points awarded by customer service were not transferrable:

I got matched to the 60K offer so they added 10K; how can I see that they aren't transferrable? Or do I actually have to initiate a transfer? That would stink, as I pretty much will 100% use transfers with my TYP....

You will see a box headed: Drag the slider to quickly select a desired amount.. At the right you will see the maximum number of points eligible to transfer. This will be rounded down to the next thousand. For example, if your balance is 100,111 it would show 100,000 because transfers must be made in increments of 1,000. However, it it shows 90,000 you would know that 10,000 are not transferable.
