This made me take another look at the 60k targeted offer, and sure enough, I completely missed the 24-month language that is present in it. Looking even closer, I also noticed that this is a World Elite card right out of the gate, not the typical World card like all of my other mailers. I wonder if this is going to be Citi's route from here on out, sending WE cards with the 24-month language attached.

I SM-ed requests for the 60K match, noting current offer was 40K for $3000 spend/50K for $5000 spend. Get a response that they are requesting a 20,000 mile adjustment for me. Couple of days later, a new notification on my account that they are adding 20K miles on each account w/i 2 billing periods. :eek:

Hello 70K AA card. :D

Update, 20K showed up in my account today after the first billing period closed (as well as the points for spend to date). :cool:

20K is a very considerable amount these days.

Friend got a targeted Business 60K offer for $3000 in 3 months. Has 24 month language, but folks should be able to try to match business cards to 60 now.

Just like Chase offering new and mostly unheard of 100K targeted ink business card offers because 5/24 is causing fewer new sign ups, perhaps Citi's 24 month rule is also catching up to them. Not to mention the fact they both can now much more easily afford higher sign up bonuses.

Citi always seems to pull my experian score and I noticed that my exp score is 50 points less than other 2 bureaus. Is it possible to get Citi to not pull my score from exp for my next application?

That's not due to Citi! That's because different bureaus can use a different model / different scale. An 800 score on a model which only goes up to 850 is much better than an 800 score on model which goes up to 900.

Thus a given credit score number is meaningless in abstract, without knowing which model (at the very least which scale) it was done on.

See here for just how many different variations of credit scores there are:

all the last mailers expiration dates where on the 15th of every month, this one seems interesting since it expires on the 31st.

Yeah, one of the reasons I posted it. Plus, back to 50K for $3K.

FYI, the card I received (see prev page) for the targeted offer w/o 24mo language was a World, not a WE. Have now activated it; website shows bonus trackers. Now to see about a 60K match... :)
