The Offer
Direct Link (You might need to open it in incognito mode for it to work)
- Citi Prestige is again offering 50,000 points after $5,000 in spend within three months of account opening.
Card Details
- Annual fee of $450
- Make sure you’re aware of the new Citi application rule, you won’t be eligible for this bonus if: Bonus ThankYou points are not available if you have had ThankYou Preferred, ThankYou Premier or Citi Prestige cards opened or closed in the past 24 months.
Our Verdict
Previously this bonus was 50,000 after $3,000 in spend, then it went to 40,000 after $3,000 in spend and now we are back to 50,000 points after $5,000 in spend. Make sure to keep in mind the new rules with Citi bonuses, because of this most people won’t be eligible anymore. Also make sure you read about these things everybody should know about Citi credit cards.
Hat tip to Mujased on /r/churning
If I opened a card on 1/1/2015, closed it on 1/1/2016; are you eligible for bonus on 1/1/2017? or on 1/1/2018(24 months after closing) open close language is always confusing.
Needed to help someone find a Citi Prestige bonus — if on a Mac, you can use Safari and open Preferences > Advanced > Click “Show Develop menu in menu bar”. Then in the Develop menu setting, click ‘User Agent Internet Explorer 11’ … reload this page, then click the link. Showed 50K for us.
Thx it works
Can anyone attach a pdf/jpeg or any file type of a screenshot of the 50k prestige offer? I can’t get the link to work and Citi is saying I just need to fax/mail them a screenshot so they will match the offer.
That would be much appreciated
I had trouble getting it it work on IE by copying the signup link from Chrome and opening it into IE. But when I loaded this page onto IE and THEN clicked on the signup link, the 50k offer showed up!
Keep trying. I tried it probably 10 times before it worked. Shockingly, Internet Explorer finally came through for me. Now I have to decide if the offer is worth it.
I see this:
Earn 40,000 bonus points after making $4,000 in purchases within the first 3 months of account opening.
Did you try incognito? I just got it to work a few minutes ago.
I tried incognito and in a new browser and showing 40k offer.
Worked for me just now in Safari but not Chrome
Link plz
Added, thanks
Thanks!
Ditto what Elias said. the 4th night free can be really useful to those who don’t stay in hotels exclusively on points.
IMHO it does compete with the CSR. The 4th night free is awesome and it has given me more value than any other card.
You’re lucky because I got the prestige last April so I can use the fourth night free, I stay at hotels once a month for approx a week, and so far I have not found even once that using citi’s fourth night was cheaper than paying for the fourth night using booking dot com, therefore I have very mixed feelings if I should keep the card when it’s time to renew, I like the card because of its insurance products which are better than the CSR for example airline delay kicking in after 3 hours instead of 6, baggage delay is also much better kicking in after 3 hours and getting the full coverage amount of $500, where the CSR will kick in after 6 hours and it will only cover $100 per day for up to 5 days , extended warranty provides 2 years of insurance vs one year on CSR, CSR limits the extended warranty to items that the original warranty was 3 years or less, with Prestige the only limitation is that the Citi protection won’t go more then 7 years doing the manufacturer warranty was 5 years you will still get full 2 years extra.
Chase does have primary Auto rental insurance which is not relevant for me because my rentals are usually outside of the USA I also have the Ritz Carlton card which covers as primary, therefore I see the Prestige as having better insurance coverage, but the CSR as having better rewards with a lower annual fee because of the higher airline credit.
I’ve also had a hard time finding value from the 4th night free compared to online searches. Is there any trick to getting a better value from this perk?
Not eligible for another Citi TY bonus until July of 2017…hopefully by then Citi recognizes that this card does not compete well with CSR and offers a 100k TY point bonus.
Fingers crossed, I think Citi knows Chase will devalue that card in the future though as they did with the Prestige.
how exactly is this supposed to be competition to CSR???
4th night free (at least until next year) which could be valued at 1000s if you travel alot (I have personally saved a couple of thousand dollars this year just thanks to that), AA lounges for now, $350 annual fee if you have a citi gold account.
