I NOW Know What Citi Card I Want

[Irisa]

I've been looking for something to replace my TYP, and this looks promising.  

Here's the info I got from my chat with Citi: 

• The Citi Double Cash Card allows clients to earn 1% unlimited cash back on eligible purchases and an additional 1% as they pay for those purchases, whether they pay in full or over time. Citi Double Cash clients will earn a one-time automatic late fee waiver the first time they pay late.

• I think an account needs to be at least a year old to qualify for a PC: "Since you've been with Citi for over a year, you'd quality to convert into the Citi Double Cash card instead of being required to apply."
• Conversions begin into this new card product as of 09/07/2014
•  You can chose either a VISA-branded or MASTERCARD-branded Citi Double Cash card, as the option exist.

Edit to add: 

• The cash back you earn is calculated at the end of each billing cycle and is shown on your monthly statement and account online.

Hope that helps!

Horrible looking card but if they'll let me PC my shortly-to-be cancelled AA Plat to this then I'm in.

Thanks for that info thats interesting since i should be losing my freedom MC any day now. If i can pick this up as MC would be really nice option. The one thing i noticed since QS has almost instant payout that could be very important deciding factor. Did you apply Irisa ? :-)

Sorry!

What's the deal with PC'ing from an AA card? I spent quite a long time searching the forums for this last night and only really found a couple of threads specific to PC'ing from Citi co-branded cards. The card is almost a year old so I want to close it or PC it before the AF hits, but as the account has to be a year old will I have to pay the AF?

I was dead set my Diamond would PC to Dividend once it hit the 12 month mark, now I'm not so sure.  Maybe I'll PC Diamond to to Double Cash and Simplicity to Dividend.  Citi has certainly stepped up their game with this offering fo sho!

they have stepped up their game period, I think with the changes to TYP have much better options to transfer to airlines, and now an "real" 2% cashback card. I will have to really think if i want to replace the QS with this and forgo apping for fidelity amex down the road.
