Saphire reserv has 550 fee vs this one 95??
80k points worth $800 if redeemed for cash, correct?
Sapphire Preferred is 1.25 on AF $95
Sapphire Reserve is 1.5 on AF $550

…if memory serves me correct

Can someone help me please. Applied for the US bank altitude connect card and and got approved for a meager $500. How can I spend $3000 in 4 months to get the bonus? Any way out? Thanks
Did you tried calling them and check?
Or you can pay extra on the account first (make negative balance); and then spend the $3000.

Thanks. I called them and they wanted to do a hard pull again to increase the CL. Would it be worth it? Also, are there any penalties for making the balance negative and paying it off immediately.

I opened citi rewards+ 6 months back and got $250 bonus. So I'm not eligible for bonus points if I apply this card, anybody can confirm please?
You're correct, you would NOT be eligible for the 80k bonus points from this card. Per the fine print:

Bonus ThankYou® Points are not available if you received a new cardmember bonus for Citi Rewards+®, Citi ThankYou® Preferred, Citi ThankYou® Premier/Citi Premier® or Citi Prestige®, or if you have closed any of these accounts, in the past 24 months.

I dont think it is worth it to have a hard pull again - because I believe it would be better to do hard pull for another card rather than the same one!
Also, when I said negative balance, I meant, you pay $3000 to the credit card before spending. Which makes the credit balance "negative". Then you can spend the $3000 without exceeding the limit of $500 for a ding.
Again, my opinion.

They stopped the 1pt = 1.25 for travel back in April of this year. I'm probably going to cancel this CC soon since it's not worth it over Chase Sapphire which is 1pt = 1.5 for travel (in my opinion)

Oh wow… what if I already have this card, is that no longer available to me?

Thanks. I understood. Called them up to ask if I can prepay, and they said I'll have to mail-in a cheque to be deposited to the account. No provision of online deposit before the statement is out.

I got denied too with an 815 credit score. Reason was that I'm not using enough of my available credit. Very odd.
EEK!

That makes no sense. I don't use much of my available credit either and pay them off every month and I still qualified and got the new card. My husband and I both have over 800 for our credit scores and have about 80k available in credit cards between the two of us and we currently owe $300 that we just purchased and isn't even due yet. Other than that, we don't owe anything.

I got the card and just realized that I JUST paid $2,600 for our annual car insurance......dang it. That would have been great to put on this card.

no. If you closed within the last 24 months, no dice. Weird rule but that's how Citi rolling...
I still have the premier active and had it longer than 24 months. I heard I can still get the bonus if I apply for a new one, is that true??

Annual fee $95 does not attract people!

This is exactly the reason I ordered this card to pay annual insurance worth $2k

Spend within $500 and pay your outstanding balance right away?

I'll wait for the 100K points to come before jumping. $800 isn't enough to take a hit in credit score.

1. is it for personal only or one can apply for business card too?
2. do you normally cancel after say 1 year or so? Canceling card reduces your score I think, not sure how much.
