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

Great tip! Was able to do same. Thx!
how, it continues to ask for the cvc and a security word or something. I never got anything on my email regarding that. I did set up the account after getting approved as it mentioned that I wouldn't be able to do so if I closed the page, until I got the physical card. what did I miss?

Instant approval, laughable 3k limit though. Can I ask for CLI right away as soon as I get the card? To those who have an existing Citi relationship, check your online accounts, it should appear there. You should be able to generate a virtual number for use before you get the card.

Checked my free annual credit report on Experian site. Card offers section on Experian showed approval odds as best, so applied for this card. Received call from Citi after 5 days to verify that I applied. Approved on the call.

When I log into the Citi website I'm able to click "Get a Virtual Account Number" and that gets you a number, expiration and CVC you can use for online purchases. If you have multiple citi cards, you can pick which account the card charges against.

I didn't see the Citi Premier card after logging into the Citi page until after 4 or 5 days after approval. Once I was able to link the card to my account (after logging in), I was able to get the virtual card number.

please do explain. I would like to do that
Apply for card
Spend $4k in first 3 months
Receive 80k thankyou points
Before the annual fee is charged again (you have to pay the annual fee for the first year - they charge it immediately) you downgrade the card by calling Citi
You then have 80k points - $95 annual fee (worth $705)

You should be able to use a Mastercard at Costco with a pin. Costco will treat it like a debit transaction.

You can buy costco gift cards at costco.com with a mastercard, then use it to pay for stuff in the warehouse.

Wouldn't that be treated equivalent to drawing cash from your credit card (cash advance), thus incurring heavy fees?
