Any suggestions how to expedite the bonus here? My first statement just closed with a $7,493.46 balance, a $6.54 shy of reaching the bonus spend. In the case here Nordstrom was kind enough to give me a reduced updated ship sales tax, instead of what my pending charge was for, which was about a $30 difference. $450 fee came in now, any way to get miles quickly before the need to pay up?

You still have an entire statement to spend the $6.54, get the bonus, and cancel the card to get the AF refunded.

Should have been more clear. Any way to get it quicker than that? Perhaps by switching the next closing date, or having a charge backdated?

Doubt you will get the charge backdated in a way that will suddenly trigger the bonus and from reading it seems that changing closing date causes more issues then not. Whats the issue in just spending, waiting for statement to close and then closing card once the bonus hits?

Switching closing date will not work.

No issue at all, except that I actually had a need for those 80k miles now..

That sucks, but there's nothing you can do except wait until next statement. (I had a similar issue with my Citi Hilton card and had to wait an extra month also).

Sorry about that. Saw an open flight or actually are flying before you'll have them? If the first, put them on hold.

My AF posted on the last day of my first statement 11/12 and it is due 12/09, however, I just finished the spend in this current cycle which means my payment date for the AF will be before my current statement closes. What should I do? Cause the points will only post once this cycle closes which by that point will be past my AF payment date. TIA

Pay it, and it'll be refunded when you cancel the card after next statement. (Just don't forget to cancel with in 37 days from the AF posting).

It'll be a credit on the card, and you can request a check.

Points finally posted today, two days after statement closing! Now how do I go about cancelling the card? Will the cancellation trigger the 2/65 rule? Thanks.
Also I want to book an award ticket will I get the 10% back even I cancel the card? Or as long as it was booked while I had the card I will get the credit?

You can send an SM or call.
Cancelation doesn't affect the 2/65 rule.

Executive card doesn't give the 10% back

Cool. I didn't realize that it wasn't on the Executive card. If i signup now for the Platinum card would I get it reimbursed or do I need to have it at time of redemption?

What should I include in the SM? Also do I tell them that I want the AF credited to my Citi Gold account?
