Citi Credit Card Rush Shipping

[Anonymous]

I just got approved last night for the Citi Thank You Premier card. I was really hoping to get my card ASAP as I am leaving early next week on a vacation and would like to use the spend to get the 50,000 point signup bonus.

I have already called the customer service line and have been told they do not offer expedited shipping. I was wondering if anyone has had success getting around this somehow? Or knows of a better number to call?

I'm okay with paying for the increased shipping cost.

Welcome to the forums.

Unfortunately there isn't anything you can do.  Citi does not expedite the shipment of their cards and it will take 7-10 days to get the card.  First you'll get an approval mailer from them with the card's PIN followed by the card in a day or two. I know that's not the anwer you want but Citi is well known for this policy.

Forgot to mention but most importantly, congrats on the approval!
