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.
    What are the bonus categories for the Premier card?

    We do not determine how merchants or establishments are classified, however, they are generally classified based upon the merchant's primary line of business. We reserve the right to determine which purchases qualify for this offer. Purchases not eligible to receive the additional ThankYou Points include, but are not limited to, purchases made at warehouse clubs, discount stores, department stores and convenience stores.
    You may earn ThankYou Points as long as your Card Account is open and current. If your Card Account is closed, you will not be able to earn ThankYou Points and you will lose any accumulated ThankYou Points that have not been transferred to your ThankYou Member Account. 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?

However, it it shows 90,000 you would know that 10,000 are not transferable.
Thank you mia!

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.

The way I figure it out is to add all pending charges, the current balance, and all payments I have made to the card. Simple math.

Click on "My Points Summary" and it will show a pie chart with the info you are looking for.

Edit: Not working with this card. It shows up on Hilton and AA cards.

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.
