Is Citi Forward Student Going Extinct?!?!?!

[Jungook]

So I was recently approved for the Discover IT card for students as my first card and I am about to undertake my journey with revolving credit.

My next and last card I plan to apply for before the year ends is the Citi Forward for Students. I am aware that Citi is more selective than Discover when approving applicants so my plan is to wait till mid December to apply so that my student loans and revolving credit have about 3 months to report to the bureaus.

Will the Forward for Students still exist in December or will it become discontinued by then as I know the regular version has already gone extinct.

What are my chances of getting approved if I tried applying earlier than December?

Thanks.

There is no way to tell if Firward/Students will be available in December or tomorrow tbh. Without knowing your cr profile, its hard to give you a more detailed response as to your chances.

Darn, I was hoping there were like industry insiders regarding credit cards kind of how people can predict when the new iPhones are coming out before an official announcement from Apple.

This gamble between time and app success is driving me insane!

+1 

The student version is less restrictive but also lower limits too which is to be expected

Geez you don't know how bad this thread title scared me!! Enough to almost make me tumble out of the garden!

Hopefully this card will be around for a while, and if it does get "discontinued", they put a bigger and better card in it's place

5 points for Amazon, restaurants (including fast food), and entertainment is such a good deal though. I heard the rewards program for the Forward was causing Citi to lose money so they discontinued the regular version. If that is true, how would they release an even better card? O_o

Hmm, good point. I'm just hoping this card doesn't go away soon; majority of my spending is at restaurants and fast food, and i do spend quite a bit at amazon. Not to mention I could easily get the points 1-to-1, since I currently have a student loan.
