Update 01/15/18: Old link has expired. will update if we find a new working link.
Update: Reddit user lonely_laowai found a new working link, yay!
Update: Looks like affiliate links are no longer showing the 50,000 point bonus, but non affiliate links are still showing 50,000 points. There is still a chance this bonus will be replaced/changed shortly but for now it’s still working fine.
According to OMaaT this offer is due to ‘change’ on August 22nd. It isn’t clear how the offer will change but given that 50,000 is the highest bonus we’ve seen I imagine we will see a bonus reduction. It might also be that only the affiliate link offer will change and it will still be possible to get 50,000 points via other links. It’s also entirely possible that the bonus will increase.
The Offer
Direct Link (if you’re not seeing it, go incognito or clear cookies)
- Signup for the Citi Premier card and get 50,000 ThankYou points as a bonus after you spend $4,000 within the first three months
Card Details
- Card earns at the following rates:
- 3x on travel
- 2x on dining and entertainment
- 1x on all other purchases
- Annual fee of $95 is waived first year
- Bonus ThankYou Points are not available if you have had a ThankYou Preferred, ThankYou Premier or Citi Prestige card opened or closed in the past 24 months
Our Verdict
This offer was spotted in branch last week, and now it’s publicly available online. A lot of people won’t be eligible for this card due to the 24 month language, and if you’ve recently applied for another Citi card be sure you aren’t bumping into Citi’s application rules either.
There was once a 60k offer publicly available, but that offer is uncommon. It still might be worth waiting to see what changes Citi possibly make to the Prestige card before going for this bonus, though that runs the risk of missing out on this since we don’t know how long it’ll last (in branch offer shows an expiry of 9/30, so I imagine it will be similar but no guarantee). Update: Prestige is coming out with a 75,000 points bonus on July 23.
As always make sure you read these things everybody should know about Citi credit cards before applying. We’ll add this to our list of the best credit card sign up bonuses.

Deal is back
Thanks, there was a recent 60k offer
When are bonuses for this card posting?
any new working link(s)?
Unfortunately not.
When I click on any of the links it jumps to a page that says:
"We're unable to process your application at this time.
A system error has caused a delay in processing your application. Please try again later."
That's in normal and incognito mode.
Same thing for me.
me too
I got this one Thanks for posting it. My welcome letter didn't mention 50k points but I contacted them and they said I was signed up for it.
Hello, the link no longer works!
Dies anyone know of a working link with the 50,000 sign up bonus? Thanks!
I'll see if I can find one
@Doc, the terms say "Bonus ThankYou Points are not available if you have had a ThankYou Preferred, ThankYou Premier or Citi Prestige card opened or closed in the past 24 months.". Do we know if the AT&T Access More factors into this - I was holding off on applying for this for SO (We have about 3 months left for 24 months since applying for the AAM)
No, AT&T doesn't count. Only those listed cards.
Thanks William. I could use a working link too.
Awesome. Thanks!
Applied today, instant approval- Happy New Year!
Me too. :)
Thanks, finally decided to pull the trigger on this one. Instant approval, $10K.
I applied on Friday and went pending and got approved today. 22nd new card of the year. Thanks!
Do you have a relationship with citi (checking or other credit cards)? Is your Experian frozen? Thanks
