Would having had a Best Buy Citi card interfere with this offer?

Quote from ChubbyGinger :
Customer service has been dreadful. I spent the $4,000 but found out that one of the charges was still pending and didn't process before the end of the time period.
I've spoken to multiple customer service reps that have been terrible and have told me they wont do anything. Not can't, not "we will try", or anything else. They won't.
The first one I spoke to hung up on me after saying I didn't qualify.
I missed out on $800 in rewards because of $200 in charges. I'd stay far away if they treat their customers like this.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I just recently met the $4k requirement with my last purchase, but what you wrote makes me think that I should keep putting spend on the card just in case. And I should review my next statement to make sure I see the 80k bonus reflected on there.

I had a premier card closed on 11/26/2019. Is it safe to apply today to eligible for the bonus? Any experience appreciated.

I just happened to login to my new Citi CC account and was dumbstruck when I saw that my statement payment was "Due on Dec 2"!

I received no email notification (I'm enrolled in "Paperless" communications) or any other form of notice that a payment was due. I assume that had I not seen this just now (and paid) that I'd have been charged interest on my card balance.

Is this typical of Citi?

I set up automatic payments from now on, but if this event means what I think it means, then had I not happened to login today, I'd have been on the hook for their 17+ percent interest rate.

I had the same thing happen -- no emails at all -- and the worst part is that I'm sure I did not originally enroll in paperless.

The only bright thing is that their automated system just took care of the late and interest charges when I just said "late fees" into the automated system, knowing that that's probably what I was calling about. Of course, it probably helped I already immediate made payment prior to the call, but still.

Just watch out if you're doing paperless thing.

Quote from echip :
Yes, 80k points will only get $400 cash. Worth more if you redeem for gift cards.

I had this card a few years ago, and I used to redeem for gift cards because 80k points will get $800 in gift cards (which I think worth about $700-$750 in cash).
They have a bunch of stores such as Home Depot, Lowes, Apple, Target, Marshalls, Sears, etc.
Not the case anymore at least. You can redeem 1:1 on statement credit, direct deposit, or mailed check.

Got it on Thanksgiving and just cashed out 80400 points for $840 statement credit. If I close the account now, do I have to pay the annual fee?

Webpage is broken.
Webpage doesn't have any label.
There are no branch in my
City.
Finally apply by phone and spent 30 minutes. Only good part is that I am approved immediately after submission.

Quote from my3cents :
When does the 3-month period begin? When you get approved online? When you first use the card?
To answer my own question, the 3-month period begins when you receive the "Approved" email, which is a week or two before you receive the actual card (so they are really cutting one or two weeks off of their stated "3 months" timeline, to their benefit of course).

For example, approval email received on November 13, 2021 : 3 months ends on February 13 2022. And according to another post here, if that last transaction is still "pending" but not yet completed by the end date, you lose.

(I found this info by clicking on a link to show my "Thank You" points, and scrolling down the page)
