The Offer
- Get 75,000 bonus Thank You points when signing up for a Citi Prestige card and spending $7,500 within three months
- Pay just $350 annual fee when signing up in-branch
The in-branch $350 fee is for Citi relationship customers only – Citigold, Citi Priority, or Private Banking clients. It’s a standard offer for relationship clients, but the 75,000 offer didn’t click in together with the $350 fee until a couple of days ago.

Our Verdict
In the past, people who weren’t relationship clients were able to get bankers to push through a $350 application for them, but that might be a thing of the past.
Another important thing is that I believe Citi relationship clients used to get the $350 annual fee even when they applied online; the system automatically recognized them and billed them the lower annual fee. Again, I’m not sure if this still holds true – please let us know in the comments.
