Had a statement close on dec 6 and got the airline credit with that statement closing. My next statement closes on Jan 6, if I do the next airline booking now will I get my credit on the Jan 6 closing date? Or don't need to wait till February 6 statement?

How much does citi charge for a secondary card?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Hi everyone. I am new to all of this credit card benefit stuff. I have the Citi Prestige, one in my name and one in my husband's name. I did not buy any tickets this year. I was wondering if it was too late to take advantage of this benefit? Can I just buy airline gift cards? If so, which airline makes the most sense to buy?

I tried reading the post but I had trouble following.
Thank you.

You're probably out of luck (unless your December closing is tomorrow or Thursday)

Does Citi clawback the airfare credit if the original airfare charge ends up being refunded? I know Amex Platinum doesn't. Is it the same for Citi Prestige?

Thank you. So it's good option for someone that just wants to reimburse themselves the annual fee (and won't be spending money on airfare anyway).

Try calling or chatting with them
So I just got the card but my statement closes in January - however, I messaged them and they said they'd make a 1 time exception for 1/2 of the 2015 $250 one, and it would also count towards the 2016 $250 fee. Since it's a manual credit, what's the best way for someone to review my account and credit me the $125 - do gift cards count according to Citi's rules (I know they post, but if someone manually looks at it will they count). What's my best option, as I need to make the purchase today or tomorrow since it needs to hit in 2015. Thanks.

They can give you a manual 'goodwill credit'.  I wouldn't settle for less than $100, but try for the full $250.

New year, new $250 airline credit. Last year, I had a legit airline purchase. This year, I want to do PGGM (or a variant of it). I remember reading that book-cancel will work, but can someone confirm that the cancellation has to be AFTER the credit posts at statement close? That basically rules out Delta non-refundable PGGM. Will booking any refundable flight and then cancelling it work?

If the charge posts you'll get the credit. Even if it's refunded before the statement close date.

You can book a southwest refundable & cancel later. (Same method that was used for the Barclay's arrival cashout)

Sounds great. So it doesn't matter if it's a refundable or nonrefundable fare?
