I don't even see the Prestige being available anymore, did they discontinue it or perhaps are refreshing it? Anyways, I'm moving away from ThankYou points and moving to Amex's ecosystem.

It is being reworked

It mentions $800 in gift card value. But is there a way to get actual cash?

You can redeem for cash, but the redemption formula is terrible. The 80k in points will redeem for only $400 in cash. Your best value is to redeem for $800 in gift cards.

If you decide to go for it, keep us updated. I'm in a similar boat as you.

Citi has 1card in 8 day rule or something similar. DoC should have all details

Quote from Alex8919 :
I have both chase sapphire and freedom, how can I pair them to get the more value ?
If you have an Ultimate Rewards earning card then the 'cashback' you earn on the Freedom counts as UR points. That's why their ecosystem is so powerful, you should never earn anything less than 1.5x points on any purchase you ever make, and the rotating categories on the Freedom/Freedom Flex are like a free 7,500 points per quarter.

Normally the Freedom points would only be worth 1c each as redemption for cash. But you can transfer the points between CUR cards so you can transfer all your freedom points to your sapphire account and then redeem them via transferring to travel partners which is almost always the most lucrative way to redeem.

WARNING: Citi is pretty awful about point expirations, by far the worst of any of the major credit card companies to my knowledge. I've engaged legal counsel re a related matter that's currently pending :\.

So while you may get a lot of points, it may not be worth the headache of dealing with Citi.

I just got approved for the Citi Custom Cash last week. I doubt I will be approved again for another card in a short period of time from Citi. FICO 825, 3% utilization, 15 years of average age of credit.
You might. If it's recent enough there won't be another credit pull.

Quote from PurpleMitten8191 :
According to this article you can:

https://onemileatatime.com/deals/...emier-80k/

"Citi's general application rules apply, and on top of that the welcome bonus isn't available if you've:

Received a new cardmember bonus on the Citi Rewards+, Citi ThankYou Preferred, Citi Premier, or Citi Prestige, in the past 24 months
Closed the Citi Rewards+, Citi ThankYou Preferred, Citi Premier, or Citi Prestige, in the past 24 months"
The language actually says you can't get it if you CLOSED the account in the past 2 years.

Shouldn't be an issue on this card I don't think. On the splash page it says: "There is no limit to the amount of points you can earn and your points don't expire with this card."

Thank you for info! That blows but not surprised. At least Chase lets you deposit the bonus anywhere as cash.

Citi has actually made some improvements on this front. There are now options to redeem for cash or statement credit at 1cpp.

I literally directly deposited just under $5k when I closed an account. Took a business day.

Yes.

To be fair redemption is pretty easy. They do not make any exceptions or exemptions if you lose points though.

Let us know how it goes with respect to amex.

I just closed out my Thank You universe. Thinking of going for Amex Platinum, but have 2 CSR in the family so not sure if worth it to take on another hefty fee card.

I could cancel one CSR and move to Amex.
