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?
Yes. I did most VGCS for mine.

Got Instant Approval but with lower spend limit but good enough to get the bonus points.

Approved with a ~10.7k limit (score ~775). Interestingly, I initially received a "We will let you know in 7-10 business days" message and received a phone call ~45 mins - 1 hr post-app submission. The representative re-verified my information & told me that I'd been approved for the CC.

I've never heard of a credit card bonus being per household.

Bonus ThankYou® Points are not available if you received a new cardmember bonus for

Citi Rewards+®
Citi ThankYou® Preferred
Citi ThankYou® Premier
Citi Premier®
Citi Prestige®

or if you have closed any of these accounts, in the past 24 months.


So if you have one of the above named card accounts still open but the bonus was received more than 24 months ago you can get the bonus on this card as long as you didn't close one of these accounts within 24 months?
What if they closed one of these accounts automatically because on non-use the last few months?

It's still a closed account no matter the reason it was closed.

so if none of the gift cards appeal to me and I don't have travel plans within the next year, is the next best option is to cash it out for $800?

I got the same card and bonus more than 2 years ago, had a tough time using points, settled with GC purchases, and then downgraded the card to Double Cash Back, which is still active. Can someone explain the process of getting $800 redemption rather than Gift Cards?
Also, does anyone know, what Credit Card Bureau Citi pulls credit from nowadays?

Just to clarify, the 80k bonus points are redeemable for cash back to be applied to the balance? The website likes to point out its for travel and for gift cards.

I was approved for the Citi Custom Cash which earn thank you points Dec of 2021.
You think I would get the bonus if I apply for the Citi Premier card?

Any idea if product change is considered a closing an account? I changed a product from Citi Premier to Double cash back in OCT 2020 and unsure if I can be eligible for this again now?
