"This offer activation will be completed within the next 4 business days. If your account is closed for any reason, including if you convert to another card product, you may no longer be eligible."
Did anyone got same special or similar offer?
Back in November, I made an international internet purchase using a Citi card. I usually don't call CCCs, but it dawned on me that there might be a foreign transaction fee added to my bill. So, I did call, merely to inquire.
The rep told me that there would be a FT fee, but no such fee ever appeared on my statement.
While I was on that same call, the rep offered me a 5% statement credit for any and all purchases for the next three months, capped at $2000 in purchases. I asked, "What's the catch?"
The rep said that there was no catch. I asked if card types would be changed, or APRs, or anything. He said, "No." I told that rep "OK, but if there's some catch I haven't figured out here, this deal's off." He laughed, said not to worry, and my offer would begin within the next four days following the call.
Sure enough, I spent $2k fairly quickly on that card, and I got that $100 in statement credit, no strings attached. 
And I'm still surprised at that, especially since I didn't call to gripe about anything, but just to ask a question.
Go figure.
