Very sorry to hear the sad news about Citi nerfing the Forward card's rewards there They should have grandfathered the 5x rewards permanently for existing cardholders who were originally given those terms, in mho.
It was bound to happen The current market is quite saturated given peer competition (even with their in-house offerings). Citi is well-known to do this from time to time. It's all about sustainability. It sucks for a lot of folks who enjoyed having the card but it's time to move forward (pun intended). Hopefully some can be allowed to PC into another Citi product if that works as a better alternative.
And again, another one bites the dust.
I guess it's as they always say about good things just don't last.

Very fascinating...sorry, not to go OT, but if Citi ever hypothetically offered the option in the future of a PC to the devalued version of the Forward, I just might be possibly interested, if only for the APR reduction feature alone...
On the upside, there's Prestige and TY Premier (and this one got a bit of an "upgrade" from the previous version).

Except Citi doesn't go backwards as far as PCs for previously decommissioned products. Some folks have a few grandfathered Citi products that are still around, but once they close the channel for new apps, can't PC to those.

Hope Sallie Mae lasts as long as that did
J/c, how long was 5% version of the Forward available in total, also accounting for those who were grandfathered before the earlier nerf to 2%, and the June 3rd cutoff date for the 5% rewards? Honestly just curious to know how many years the 5% version actually ran for (for datapoint purposes)...
