The annual fee is $95.

This information should be included in the OP.
One thing to note with this offer is that you can claim the 80,000 points with this and then downgrade the card to a Double Cash in a year. Effectively giving the Double Cash a 800$ sub
1) Meet spending requirement on Citi Premier card
2) Earn 80,000 point sign up bonus
3) Downgrade Premier to Double Cash or Custom Cash before you're charged with another annual fee
4) Points balance should carry over from Premier to your downgrade card

Can I buy a few gift cards if I'm shy of the $4000 / 3mo quota?

I got the same message and had to call them. Something on your record is mismatch on their end and they want to verify it's really you that submitted the application. Call took 5 min and instantly approved. Good Luck!

That could be the case. Last time Chase didn't have my SSN on file (I guess checking/savings accounts and marriot/amazon/united credit cards don't have it). Bask like didn't like VPN etc.

Got approved (819 score) for a low 8,000. Will probably only make a single charge (son's tuition) before trying to downgrade it. Do we have to wait a certain amount of time before downgrading?

If you don't hold on to the card for at least a year they could charge you back for the points for abusing their promotion.

Look up their reconsideration line. Could be a verification issue. The rep may be able to process it and approve you. Best of luck!

I personally wouldn't do this. Best bet is to overpay on recurring bills such as utilities or a phone bill. Could also ask friends/family if you could use your card for a payment and have them reimburse you in cash.

Not sure if there would be any repercussions if you were to load an Amazon account balance, as the fine print probably excludes gift cards and cash equivalents, though I'm sure some people have gotten away with it.
