The 50,000 AA miles are maybe worth $1,000, which will get eaten up by 3 hours of legal fees.
Bottom line, it's generally counterproductive to start threatening lawsuits unless as an absolute last resort. Let's see how this plays out with Citi. There might be more to some of these stories.

file complaints here. the more, the merrier. I filed and attached the chats where citi verified I would be eliegible, that my account was enrolled in promotion, and that I met the requirements.
lots of similar stories on reddit of people with documentation that they were enrolled in promotional program and met spend only to get letter stating that since they were not in targeted database they would not be receiving miles

I have multiple confirmations from different Citi reps (SM and chat) stating that I met the requirements and my TY bonus will be posted no later than May 30th. By reading all these posts it appears that this means nothing - just a delay tactic. I have not been targeted.
Should I just close my CitiGold account now to avoid further monthly service charges since they would probably not give me the bonus anyway based on all recent data points?

I have some SM msg's saying I should get the 50k AA. I wasn't "targeted" per se. Its been past the 90 days plus 30 days(for miles to points to post AA account) so I am getting a little concerned. Wifes 50kAA posted in the standard 90 day time frame as promised. She wasn't targeted either but had a citi plat card.
