Update 11/29/22: The Credit Karma application does not show the 24 month language, and anecdotally seems to be working to get the bonus, even for those who received the Premier bonus within the past 24 months. (ht Jacob)
Update 11/4/22: 24-month language added back in. Rewards+ card is part of the Preferred, Premier, Prestige family.
Original Post 7/18/22:
The Citi Rewards+ card had its 24-month signup bonus language recently removed. Citi typically limits us to getting just one credit card signup bonus per card – or family of cards – each 24/48 months. See Citi 24/48-Month Churning Rule Explained in Detail for more information.
As recently as June, the Rewards+ application showed the 24-month limit and now it’s no longer showing. So you can get the Rewards+ signup bonus even if you recently got the bonus on the Rewards+ card or any other Citi card.
It’s important to note that the 24-month language is still showing on other cards, such as the Premier card. Confusingly, the Rewards+ card does show as the same family for the Premier card in the context of limiting the Citi Premier signup bonus.
Meaning that if you are now coming to signup for the Premier card, you’re limited by a prior signup, within 24 months, of either the Premier or Rewards+ card. But if you are now coming to signup for the Rewards+ card you are not limited by having previously signed up for the Rewards+ card or any other card.
Citi Premier terms:
The bonus on Rewards+ is just 20,000 points. Perhaps that’s why they decided to just streamline things and remove the language from the card to encourage and simplify signups. Regardless it’s a welcome change.

Any datapoints on receipt of the bonus if you received one in the originally prohibited time frame?
Anyone?
Applied for giggles.
Got Premier last month, but bonus hasn’t posted. 1 recent HP, application declined. Oh well
I’m not seeing the updated 24-month sign-up bonus language in this specific link:

Having received a SUB bonus in 2022 for my Citi Premier, am I still eligible for this SUB sans the new language?
This link seems to be working, The Credit Karma link no longer works
Good to clarify, I guess.
Is that the same language for the Citi double cash if you’ve had one of those mentioned above…
I don’t see any 24 or 48 month language on the Double Cash card?
24 month language has returned (also removal of the limited time 5x restaurants intro offer)

Posted thanks
24 month language is missing still if you try and signup through Credit Karma. 1 DP in /r/creditcards

I am still seeing the limited 5x on restaurants offer.
I can confirm the contents of this post. I had the Rewards+ card in 2021, canceled a year later, then reapplied. In the Citi app I see a graphic for how much spend I need to get the sign up bonus.

Looks like the ThankYou Preferred card is back to offering 1 cent-per-point directly without needing mortgage. https://www.doctorofcredit.com/citi-premier-adds-cash-out-option-at-one-cent-per-point/#comment-1370811
Can anyone confirm?
Not true. TYP redeems cash back at 0.5 cents per point. I checked a minute ago.
When did this go into effect? Yesterday?
Did you just apply this card with being into the 24 months rule?
