Now I want Citi so badly! I burned them with a CO in 2009/2010 so I think I'll have to wait until it falls off in 2017.

The bad news is that while it may fall of your credit report, it won't fall off Citi's records then.

I know. I've heard of people getting in with them again once it falls off. I did pay it, but I paid a lower amount than was owed. I'll probably end up having to get a Citi secured. But I'll try again in another year or so probably just in case.

Very, very impressive rewards package! Hopefully Citi will eventually let people who are interested in applying for it but don't have an existing Costco card be able to app at some point as well? The card does not appear to be listed on their website atm, AFAIK...

ETA: apparently, according to the additional FAQs portion of the OP's provided link, the new Costco card does not have any AF either (you only have to have an existing Costco membership), very nice! Lol, now I want to app for one...

i don't see why costco reps couldn't take apps once the merger is complete. or apping online or whatever.

So, CITI did not open any site yet for us to apply right? I wonder if CITI can move funds from my CITI DC to this card

My burning question is still: When will CL info go from AmEx to Citi? Should I transfer some CL now? Is it already too late? Can I wait until I'm due for my 3x in early April?

Knew I should of applied for Costco Amex while it was still around :/... Hopefully citi will have a bit loser requirements for this card than say DC card and costco makes them loosen their UW a tad bit.. One can only hope.

CC i am with you. i thought of applying for the amex but figured i wouldn't get it. i wanted that xfer.

also, tortoisewins, i read on another post that you can't edit the CL on your costco amex anymore. that stopped on 03/15 because citi officially has the portfolio

Plus the website in the link also mentions that you will receive 3% on eligible travel purchases worldwide!

While I know 4% on gas technically doesn't match the no-longer-available Sallie Mae's 5% on gas, it does come very, very close, perhaps this card could be a viable option for some of the people who never had a chance to app for Sallie before it was closed to new apps?

It's a good card but let's not go crazy. When you take into account the AF for Costco membership it doesn't come close to 5% and if drops the other categories down as well. The payout of the cashback once a year also isn't that great. For those that already have a Costco card though it certainly is an upgrade.
