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

Anyone know if you are able to use this card right away via digital card / number after approval if you don't already have an account with Citi? I was approved last week but kinda wish I could use the card for purchases sooner rather than waiting for the card to come in the mail lol

No. Since there is no sign-on bonus for the Double Cash card, he is saying that the $800 for the Premier is like getting one for the Double Cash after the downgrade.

Was approved last Sunday. Virtual card numbers, Google pay, and linking to Amazon was available the next day. Have been using it all week. Card should be showing up in a day or so.

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.

Credit karma shows vantage 3 score which is not fico, just a good approximate. To see your free fico scores, use discover account or bank of america, etc which provide Fico score update on monthly basis

How did you get your credit card information so you can register your account? Only thing I got after approval is an email saying the card is in its way. Thanks

Sorry, I can't help you there. I already have another citi card so my account was already set up. During the whole process I never received a full card number until I got my card today.

If you already have a citi account (other citi card, checking, etc) you can see the card info in your account and get a virtual card number through the site. If you do not already have a citi account, nothing you can do

I do have Costco Citi card. During applying, even was asked to login to expedite the approval process. But can't find the trace of new card anywhere

Not sure when u got approved but it does take a day or two to show up in your account. There were no steps required to add the account for me.
