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

Yes cash back is an option and 1 cent per point which is better than other programs like capital one which does 0.5-0.8 cents per point I believe.

I don't see the cash back option.

bumping up to see any responses to my question
I applied just a few minutes back, approved. But even after 15 mins, no email confirmation whatsoever. How long did it take for you to get the confirmation email?

Is citicards. com /cards/credit/application... link where slickdeals redirects to even legit? If I go to citi. com and the same 80k deal there redirects to a different url for application that starts with online. citi. com /US/ag/cards/application. This is confusing! Though the citicards . com certificate shows Issued to Citigroup Inc [US], (see attachment1 ), the commonname is accountonline. com (attachment 2) where as for other citi.com application links, it is online. citibank. com. (attachment 3)
Is accountonline. com legit as well? Can't understand why they can't just keep these consistent!

Wouldn't that be treated equivalent to drawing cash from your credit card (cash advance), thus incurring heavy fees?
No, it was equivalent to a debit transaction. I never had a cash advance fee on the mastercard I used.

Quote from amoled :
Now I understand why Citi had often been referred as 'slums of investment banking' back in the days. Not only does it suck in investments, apparently it had become a complete garbage on the retail side as well....

... so after being denied (score 800+)... I tried to keep speak with Credit Applications team. Since everything is outsourced to SouthEast Asia, I ended up speaking with an offshore team.
These guys have ZERO clue on what is going on. However, they gave me these numbers to call:
800-842-2348 and 888-201-4523. The irony is there is no human present to discuss anything and there is no option to do choose a human person.
Today I called them again...someone in China picked up the phone... After about 30 minutes of explaining and asking to speak with someone in the US to discuss US-bound issue, I was given this number 800-637-3116. When I dialed, it said "Congratulations, you won $100 gift card from Walmart.' Please wait while we connect you to a live rep....

I will never ever do business with Citi.
I will never use them for banking.
I do have credit cards with them.

I once was on a call with one of their people in India. There was continuous crowing of a rooster in the background. It was hilarious.

Just wondering between this and the United explorer card with 70,000 miles, which one would you choose? Not a heavy traveler but it's always nice to have the benefits that the United card provides, although it sounds this one gives some good traveling options too

I just applied and got automatically approved for $4,600. I have 5 CCs (2 opened in the last few months). I keep my cards paid off by the end of each month. Basically using the cards for the rewards. The only debt I have is my student loans.

One weird thing is at the end of the setup, it says my Equifax score is 783 but on Credit Karma it says my Equifax score is 735. Not sure why but maybe my credit is better than I thought? lol

Planning to build a new PC soon so this extra savings will be nice.

What is a "SUB"? Please dummy down your last sentence.
Thanking you in advance.
