Glad this deal works out for you too! It seems that the Visa - Costco deal nets many of us better rewards 
I was considering opening a Fidelity Amex, but I don't shop Costco enough to warrent it. However, I will be opening a BoA Cash Rewards card (hopefully I qualify for the signup bonus). I think Visa will fit many rewards chasers profiles better than Amex. I am curious about what will happen to my TE card. I like having an Amex, although I only use the card at Costco and Costco pumps. If Citi buys this card, hopefully Amex will keep a record of my member since date.
Be nice to see what Citi has in the pipeline...

Seems that way. Luckily, I do have a straight 2% Visa, but it's not cash per se. It's the Orbitz Rewards Visa, which earns 2% on all non-Orbitz purchases, but it's earned in terms of Orbucks, which to me is just as useful.

Oh, I don't know about that. Especially if my BofA Cash Rewards doesn't recognize Costco gas stations for its 3% cashback. Right now, one of the key benefits of having the TE is that 3% back at Costco gas.

Might have to apply for a regular QS Visa
.. Didn't think this day would ever come again... See what Citi creates for a card I guess although I probably have to many inquiries for citi
Edit: Will just convert my venture one to regular QS in a few months so Cap1 doesn't get a 3 pull on me. Hopefully Citi relaxes their underwritting a slight bit.
Agreed. Hope my scores really good by February.

I did read up about that. I really hope that BoA/Chase decides to accept Costco gas as a gas station, otherwise we'll be stuck hoping that Citi's new card offers rewards on gas

So... We can use visa card at Costco now?Not until Feb of next year or whatever when Amex contract is up
Nice, I guess quicksilver card will get more usage than just Netflix subscription after all.
Pretty sure it has to be a Citibank Visa, not just any Visa
And the arguement begin again whether they can stop other Visa's from being used at Costco or if it violates the Visa Agreement
Articles state other visas will be accepted (just heard about it, am fast reader, better than typist).
