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.

Planning on signing up for this to use at the Waldorf in Jerusalem. What is the fine print about using the 2 free day certs? Other than the fact it needs to be a weekend.. any blackout dates or limited availability?
no blackout dates. as long as there is a weekend room available for 80k HH points at the Waldorf Jerusalem (in your case) you will be able to book it

any other ideas how i can extend the expiration date?

Only bet is to mooch your way up the Citi supervisor ladder and hope one will give in. They refused me multiple times.

So no reason to keep the card once AF posts ?

To retain gold status?  I don't know if that's worth the AF for you.

Just got a message from Citi that my HHonors was closed due to inactivity in the last 25 months. I called and asked them why no heads up about this before they did that...they said the only thing they can do is another hard pull to reopen the card.

Anyone have experience?

I'd call and ask since it's been 25 months of inactivity if they can open the card with a new sign-up bonus.

Not sure I'm ready to start opening new cards though now.

I had that in the past on a card after 36 months no activity and couldn't get them to reopen it.
