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.

Well, it took about 3 weeks, but I finally got my card. I was approved for the 60k offer on 9/1. Then on 9/21 I finally got the card via the USPS. I got the letter confirming the 60k offer on 9/17 through regular mail as well.

Well shoot. Yeah the 10K match is not transferable. Argg! It's close to almost exactly 10,000 less than what's posted in my TYP account (rounding to thousands).

Wife finally received her card after having applied and being approved on the 28th. They did give 1K for the delay and they did move the 90 day date a couple of weeks.

Any way to tell how far along the bonus requirement Citi system thinks the card is? (without calling CS / Adding all purchases)

When I called to reduce my cash advance to $100, they were having problems and called me back later and said they set it to $0. As a courtesy for their "computer problems", they gave me 1,000 points on my Citi Premier ThankYou card.
