Our Verdict

It’s possible to get a higher sign up bonus of 60,000 points (30,000 points after $3,000 in purchases within three months and another 30,000 points if you spend $15,000 or more within the first year) and a reduced annual fee of $350 simply by going into a Citi branch, you’re supposed to have a Citi Gold checking account but this doesn’t look to be enforced at all.

It’s also been possible to get this same 50,000 point bonus for awhile now for some targeted people just by checking your targeted offers with Citi. All of that being said this new 50,000 online bonus is quite attractive because the total spending requirement is only $3,000 rather than $15,000 – although the annual fee is quite cost prohibitive at $450.

It’s possible to counter act this annual fee with the $250 in airline credits per calendar year (meaning you can get at least two of them and only pay the annual fee once), what counts is also very broad (basically anything that codes as an airline).

I’d recommend reading our semi completed review of this card for more details and F.A.Q’s you might have.

I’ll add more information to this post at a later stage.
