To signup for credit cards you can click here or on the “other credit cards” tab on top of the DansDeals logo banner to view links for card offers. Then just click on the link to “View all card offers by issuing bank” and scroll down to view all card offers from the bank of your choice.


how long does it take to get the certificates once you meet the spend?

Between 1 and 3 1/2 weeks after statement close.
I paid off the minimum spend requirement on 2 cards (and the payment posted) before the statement closed and received the certificates from both cards within 24 hours after statement the closed.

I tried adding this card to my existing Citi (AA Personal) account, but got an error that said I need to make a separate one.
After doing so, I SMed asking to combine, and they said it's not possible and that this card is not able to combined with others as it's a Hilton card.
Anyone else have this? I'm really not enjoying having three separate logins (also have business AA)

+1. Citi has awful IT. I was horrified when I found out that Citi passwords are not case-sensitive.  :o

Only way around it is to have a Citi checking account.

Can a room be booked with these certificates before you get them as long as you have it before the stay (like with Marriott points) or do you need the certificates first?

Could you post what happened at the end. Would like to get a week night in May and want to know if it will work?

Has anyone tried recently using the weekend free nights for a weeknight and gotten messed over? I know it has been mentioned that it seems to have stopped working.
