Targeted Citi ThankYou Preferred Current Customer Bonus

Anonymous — Sun, 22 Apr 2018 17:12:24 GMT

Just thought this was interesting, considering its such a crummy 2,500 points (~$25) for spending $2,500 of spend and an authorized user. Technically, it is an extra bonus 1% cash back during this period of 3 months on the first $2,500 (assuming you meet the $2,500), but unless you're like me and in the garden and can't get new cards with SUBs, I can see this not benefiting many points-targeting people.

I received two targeted offers on my Citi TY Preferred. One was to receive 1000 TY points for every $200 spent each month. Maximum 3000 points. The other offer was to upgrade to the Citi TY Premier with the AF waived for the first year. However, I would receive a new number so not sure if that would change the clock for AoA, thereby lowering my overall AoAAs. I should call and find out. Does anyone here have a quick answer?

TIA🙂

Yes, I agree not very exciting. Other cards give a bonus for adding an AU, or for extra spending, but I haven't seen many require both! And for $25.....
