Confirmation - Forward (normal version) discontinued???

[Duncanrr]

Has anyone been able to ascertain whether the Citi Forward (non-student) version of the card has been discontinued?  Im trying to find some information about it.

Thanks,

Duncan

They better keep the existing accounts opened and not cancel the card all together. 5% off amazon is nice

looks like they may no longer offer 5%, just logged onto citi benefits builder and its now showing only 1 thank you point for restaurants and entertainment...

Astrotaho stated all you need to do is select no for college student and he was approved for 7K?? 

Anyoe want to test this?

I see no reason why *anyone* couldn't apply for the college version.  On the app, it asks whether or not you're a student.

I'd imagine, your odds of approval can only improve if you're "not" a student.

Not at all, it's easier to get credit as a student than at the same age and income as a non-student. MUCH easier.
