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 just changed it online.. It seemed to give me no problem changing the date. I even got a new confirmation number. This was easier than calling 10 times. Anyone have experience with this way?
Nice!
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

Nice!

Took you long enough.. I think because it shows online as a reservation using points when you change nights it just has to be available for the same amount of points or less but you won't get the remaining back.

Thats what I said somewhere, maybe up in this thread, in their system its like a regular points redemption. They send over to the property the info with same amount of points used as that hotel would usually ask.

So can you cancel and get back the points?

I missed 1 night out of a 4 night stay the hotel manager requested a refund for me, and I received 95k points instead of my cert.

Sorry, I made a mistake here. One was for me and the second was for DW.

However, I don't see why it should be a problem.

 No one has ever reported a churn on FT or Dans that I know of --- anyone churn it?

But why should it be different than any other Citi card?

 I can only  answer your question with a question -- why no reports of churning --

I got 4 certificates. What are the nicest hotels in the US that I can use this at? Anything really special on the east coast? Could I pay and upgrade to a suite? Thank you.
