I've ascertained that the benefits of keeping this card beyond year 3 is not worthwhile after doing the numbers. I would ask them to reassess their points awarding structure to increase the point earning rate for certain categories.

Has anyone verified that Citi won't just let you open a new account and reset the two-year clock? I'm not suggesting anyone flagrantly game the system, but some issues permit the practice to avoid losing the customer entirely.

couple of questions
Well i read all the pages and applied for a card myself.
I have a few lingering questions. I see that there is the 75k and 150k limits on TYP people have seemed to have been able to get credited up to 150k even though their accounts were originally capped at 75k.
Has anyone been unable to get over the 75k cap?
Is the 150k cap total across all accounts? Or is it just for this card. I know id like to get points for banking and other promotions but if the 150k cap is over everything then I need to reconsider.
Thanks!

This card has been offered in this version for only slightly over one year. You probably would be required to sign up for Priority Pass with your new car #

Annual Fee Waived!
I got this card just over a year ago and the annual fee of $99 hit on my anniversary date. I called up and spoke to a supervisor and got the fee waived. The credit hit my account about 3 days after my call. The initial CSR said they do not wave fees. I had NOT taken advantage of the 10,000 TY pts for the 3 months spending ( I Know!) and had done a balance transfer so those were the points I stated to the supervisor that helped sway her. I am NOT a Citigold account holder

I received the following notice when I logged into Account Home:
A new card(s) has recently been issued on this account. When you receive your new card, you can activate it online, or call 1-866-451-XXXX from your home phone. Outside the U.S. call us collect at 1-605-330-XXX.
Has anyone else got this notice when they logged in? I called the CSR since I didn't add any authorized users or request a replacement card, and I was informed that one merchant I shopped at had a security breach. The CSR refused to identify the merchant.
Does anyone know whose lax security was responsible for this?
