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

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

Quote from torrent07.tish :
Did you ever use Master card at costco?
No, Costco warehouse does not accept Master Card, only Visa. However, you can get around it by buying Costco Gift Card at costco.com, where it accepts Master Card and use the gift card at Costco warehouse.

I have a citi card that gives me 2% back on charges once full payment is received. I thought citi got rid of cashback option for this. However, it appears that option is still available for me. If I get 80K points by getting this card and meeting the RMS, should I still be able to get cashback directly? Or at least a statement credit? If so, I definitely need to get one of these cards. $800 is nothing to ignore.

Not sure why someone would thumb this down. That site has a list of all available retailers that citi lets you redeem thankyou points for.

Quote from coolblue001 :
Quick question. If I used this card to pay for tuition fees (masters), is that considered a purchase? Or, to get $800, do I have to use it only in retail areas? Any help would be appreciated.

Check the tuition site for guidance. My guess is that it's a purchase but the site will charge you another % fee on top. The fee may kill the deal.

Yeah - 1 cent/point, or $800 for the 80k points. Not sure why you would rather get gift cards at the same redemption value?

I think Citi removed Extended Warranty, so no.

If I add an additional card holder, will that card holder be ineligible for his/her own application to get 80K points?

I already have a Double Cash card. Am I able to transfer the credit limit from the Premier to the Double Cash? Chase cards allow it.

Quote from TempleofErratas :
I was approved for the Premier card, and then I was able to generate a virtual card number within the Citi website once the card was linked to my existing Citi account. The virtual card number appeared to work when I paid a random bill.

Any con to using this virtual card number until my real card arrives (e.g. purchases won't earn rewards or count toward the $4,0000 target or something stupid)?
No con, rewards categories will still apply. Can you tell me HOW and/or HOW LONG it took for you to be able to generate the virtual credit card? When I login to my account, the new Premier account isn't there so I have no way to generate the virtual credit card. I was just approved several hours ago, do I need to way a few days, or what was your experience? TIA!
