Best Citi Cards available
« on: April 03, 2012, 10:56:08 AM »
I received in the mail a Citi offer for 50,000 Thank You points, no annual fee first year, for spending 3k in 3 months.
I would like to do a 3bm to get the 3 best Citi cards available now.
What are the current best Citi card offers?
Thanks.

What do you say to the offer I described in my post?
Are 50k Thank You points equal to 50k Ultimate Reward points?

nisht nisht, they don't transfer to any airlines except for IY"H Avios and Singapore Airlines soon.  You can use them for gift cards at a rate of about 1cpp but that's about it.

Negative. Not even close.

Even if you can't transfer to ba, $665 in flights is nothing to laugh at

For my 50K UR (actually 44K), I got the equivalent of $2000+.

Here are links to that offer.

I was declined in October 2010 for Citi AA and approved in November 2011, just 5 months ago with 4000 cl. I have a Citi Dividend card as well also with 4000 cl.  Not sure if worth it to apply. I would wait if the knew the offer won't expire. What would you do? Does Citi also let you move credit from other cards? Do they limit how many cards you can get in a certain amount of time like Chase?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Anyway, I can get the 50k Thank you card.
I can not get any AAdvantage cards as these are difficult to churn even with a new FF number.
So what Citi cards should I apply for together with the 50k TY card?
Thanks!

Haven't had an issue yet, and have done it on multiple cards.
