[Targeted]Citi 80,000 TYP
I Just received a targeted offer for a Citi Card with 80,0000 Thank you points.
Complimentary companion domestic ticket each year, No foreign transaction fees, anniversary bonus, no expiration on points. First year free $125.00 thereafter.
Is this a good deal? I don't have a Citi card and just signed up for the Chase Marriott rewards card. I haven't seen any discussion about this deal on FT.
Comments please.

Sounds like a great deal! I just signed up about 2 weeks ago thinking the 50K was as good as it gets - anyone had luck bumping the bonus (like Chase does)?
Is the companion fare new or do most of the past offers have that too? I don't recall seeing that.

I assume from the annual fee that this is the Premier card? An 80,000 point bonus is fantastic. The SPG Amex card will always be around. This offer may eventually make it to a broader audience, but why take the risk and let is pass you by?

Holy Moly! That's the best one I've ever seen. I thought the 75K I just got was tops, but this one is outstanding.

Hmm sounds like everyone thinks it's a great offer. If it's made available to all I will check it out.

It is indeed a great value. The 50k point premier card is one of the best sign-up bonuses out there right now, so 80k is great. If you fly short-distance coach flights this is a great bonus to compliment miles in other programs to use for long haul awards in business/first.

Great offer but not the best targeted offer
80k is a great offer but there is still yet a better 100k targeted offer at there. I haven't received either - bummer!!! My gut instinct says to be patient and wait if you can because a 100k offer will go to the public sometime in the near future. Just a guess! No insider knowledge. So that being said, your letter should say somewhere when it expires. They usually always have an expiration date on them. I would wait and see if a 100k offer comes available before your offer expires unless you need to use the points ASAP.
I really think that Citibank wants to get more into the miles/points game like Chase & AMEX and will offer a 100k soon somewhere.
