Citi Premier MasterCard [2015-2017]
This is new - the old offer was split over first and second year of membership. AF waived the first year, too.
This is worth a look at, now.

But it does not have the perks of prestige.
However, since the first year AF is waived, I'll probably go for it after I am done with prestige.

My Premier is almost 3 yrs old and was a 50K sign up. Due for annual renewal in 3 months.
It says no points will be awarded if you closed or applied in the last 18 months. I wasn't aware you could have 2 premier cards?

I applied for it last week. Is there any chance to match the 50k w/o 1y wait offer? Maybe send an SM? Anybody has experience with this? thanks

I've already sent a secured msg and asked, will see what happens. I'm going to call as well if I have to, I literally signed up for the old offer a week ago as well.

from the earning category, I dont see any advantage of prestige now since premier has wider travel category and the annual fee is even lower than prestige best offer (350-250 credit). the only thing really stands out for prestige may be aa/us 1.66 cent/point value. I guess premier is also a very good choice now if you dont have a lot travel plan.

Also, for those of us with rewards-earning banking relationships and grandfathered Forward cards...the TY program is insanely lucrative.
The Premier really fits a very specific demographic, and even with the changes they've made, it's probably a pretty small swath. This is a nice signup offer, though, and paired with the Prestige offer, can pile up TY points in a hurry.

I'm thinking about getting this, but it would be for my upcoming trip in June, which is cutting it a little close. Does anyone know if the 50K TYP points would post shortly after meeting the minimum spend, or if it's after statement close? Do they usually post immediately after the trigger, or is it like 4-6 weeks?

I am not familiar with the 8 day rule regarding Citi applications. Is the 8 days 8 weekdays or 8 total days? My spouse was approved for the Preferred on Saturday and trying to determine when a reapply for this offer can be done?

If the post after yours is correct, who knows what the rules are now. But since that's only 1 data point, I'd still wait the 8 days if I were you.
