What should I ask the CSR if I call again.
Well then, you didn't follow post 2, so how else did you deviate from post 2's instructions?

Safari and firefox, probably other browsers have a private setting. CTRL + SHIFT + P works for both of those I think, or find it in the menus. It effectively does no forward cookie information, history, among other things. So, if you open a new incognito window to apply, you don't have to clear your previous cookies.

Should I call againg and double check or is this offer not valid?
30k bonus with $750 spend over 4 months is the current public offer for the citi aadvantage platinum select/ visa signature card. So, are you sure you used the links in post two and cleared your cookies before you went there?

Yes, I used Chrome under incognito and used the links as in post #2.

But I am still in the $750 for 30k

Well that sucks then. What date did you apply on? We'll need to track the dates so we know if the offer is dead if others report the same trouble. Still, its an easy 30k.

BTW, I'd go ahead and put $1500 on it and see what happens. Try to get a CSR to confirm the $1500 spend for 75k though still. Maybe they just gave you information on the current best offer out of habit. One could hope.

Thanks, I applied on the 20th, but haven't activated yet to find out. I'll post when I know.

Did anyone else apply on or around the 22nd, or better yet, more recently? I doubt you'd have the card yet though if it was more recent than that.

I think I might have not used the links from post #2. Maybe thats the reason, Im such an idiot. But I will have my wife try with the links.

However one link seems to give me an error, the first that says:
75k, Citi Visa EXPIRED, WORKING

NOt sure which links to use. I just need the persoanl visa.

Yes, that would certainly be the reason if true. The first link is still working. Try another browser, clearing your cookies, or using an incognito window. Also, just try the link a couple times, sometimes they stop working for a very short period of time, then come right back.

understand -- I always called it "in private" --incognito sounds better-tks

You may have inadvertently created a lot of unnecessary grief for many readers....

Try to refresh the link - it seems there is often time-out or system error on Citi server(s) stored the application links.

The error messages have been reported multiple times and how it eventually still works. Read back 4 - 5 pages you would have seen multiple posts on that.
