Citi Forward and Premier Combo

Excuse my ignorance but the Forward and Premier seem like a great combo to have for a diner and traveler. What are your thoughts?

Are they just like Freedom and CSP?

5x TYP per $ spent at restaurants, music stores, movies, and books with no restrictions that I know of with the Citi Forward and 3x TYP on travel including gas with the Premier. Idk but that sounds like a great competitor to the CSP and Freedom combo. Although UR is superior in most cases.

Re: Citi Forward and Premier Combo

forward and premier will get you 6.25% back on dining when redeemed for travel purchases, or you can take points and transfer them.

forward and Prestige will get you 8% back on dining, Amazon, and entertainment when redeemed for aa/us flights

Forward has the advantage of being uncapped (and fixed categories) so earning is easier.   Of course, it has the severe disadvantage of not being available any more, and we don't know how long the grandfathering will last.

Re: Citi Forward and Premier Combo

So my last post was deleted. May I have an explanation for it, please. I'm guessing you can't apply for the Forward and the link I found is not legitimate.

The Forward hasn't been available for over a year, and the 5x version longer than that (There was a brief period where you could get the Forward as a 1 TYP per $ card).

 

I personally wouldn't use a link for a discontinued card, because if it "works" you don't know what card you would actually get, but if it looks good, you can try.

Re: Citi Forward and Premier Combo

Thank you LTL. I won't apply for it since (as you stated) I don't know what's at the end of the road with that link. I guess I should disregard this combo since it's not as valuable for me without the Forward card.
