My experience is from 3 chats, 2 phone agents and a retention manager.
I had their best card, Prestige. And I was only offered this Card in this thread or the thank you preferred which I already have.
I was told unequivocally that you can only switch to the same rewards category, i.e. thank you cards.
Please be aware Citi and most major credit card issuers have rewritten a lot of rules in the last couple of years to respond to what they perceive as shenanigans by the customers.
I'd give more credence to rules mentioned on Citi website, but not much to old blogs.
78 months ago:https://www.doctorofcreI only did it because found out my car needs new clutch/transmission and its gonna cost me 5,000 installed. boom. day 1, getting those points. redeeming 800 in apple cards, for when iPhone 13 releases in few months. prob keep it open til next renewal and close it.
had a score of 807 fico it showed me when I applied
//edit: in for one lol. Just got approved for $8,300 limit with a score of 819 per the immediate approval page.
78 months ago:https://www.doctorofcreForget the articles. Call Citi and chat with them. They'll tell you almost exactly what I'm telling you.
I'm not posting links here but you'll find even more recent articles that confirm no crossing into other product family of cards.
Not sure why there's more reliance on third party blogs, over the originator.
I literally just came off the song and dance with Citi for nearly 3 to 4 weeks leading into my eventual cancellation, because i didn't want to convert to another TY family of cards without getting signup bonuses.
If so, good to know.
Yes between 2 people only, and you cannot keep changing who you're merging points with, or hard ban.
CSR — 3% travel and dining
CF/CFF— 5% categories, or if MasterCard needed
CBIC — 5% cable & phone bill
CFU/CBIU— 1.5% everything else
I usually only carry these cards in my wallet: CFF / CSR / CBIU / Citi Costco / debit. I have a ton of other credit cards opened for SUB (like this one soon), which I keep in drawer once bonus achieved.
I haven't found any other annual fee cards worth renewing beyond first year, post sign up bonus.
So you have 11 active Chase credit cards (with different cc account numbers) but you're only paying a single CSR annual fee, and all the points earned from those credit cards spending go into that single CSR account?
So these are effectively 2pt per dollar spend on restaurants, supermarket etc
Better just get double cash card which doesn't use thank you pt system
Citi premier $4,000 spend = 92,000 points if spending on x3 points categories (grocery,gas,travel,restaurants)
I think I made my mind

My personal experience with Chase and Citi banks' customer service representatives (and their immediate supervisors) has been very inconsistent. Some of them know what they are talking about. Others don't. It's very much a YMMV as to whether you get an accurate response. It's also very frustrating, as I'm sure you've experienced.
Blogs, on the other hand, rely on a bunch of datapoints drawn from a variety of individual reports. The more datapoints, the more accurate a picture they draw of the situation. Depending on the situation, I'll take the empirical evidence of customer experience over the response by bank customer service agents. And I'll consider your experience to be a datapoint contrary to what the DoctorOfCredit.com has suggested.
Not all datapoints are weighted equally. Newer ones are more important than older ones. Reputable sources are worth more than unknown sources. Detailed information is weighed more than general information. So, your datapoint carries significant weight in this discussion.

With that being the case, the incentive for Citi card goes down a lot.
So now the question is This card or AMEX platinum with 125K bonus? I have that offer sitting at home and do not have any amex cards

1. Choose mortgage payment option in rewards, they have number to call.
2. Call the number.
3. Tell them you want to redeem for mortgage payment.
4. Ask for check payable to your bank. Chase worked for me.
5. Once check comes deposit via bank app to your account.
Then pay your mortgage or do whatever you want with it...
Chase 100% works. Other banks you have to try not sure.
available credit lines.) She sent it back for manual review. After a manual review, they again came back with the same denial reason. Called again and spoke with a second CSR. They again agreed this denial didn't make sense and this was the first time they had seen this. CSR spoke to her manager and found out that this is a new policy change and they were in the process of looking into it. She said she try reprocessing the application within a week and see if it would go through.
