Congrats! Simplicity card aside (and marketing fail that they didn't name it SimpliCiti), Citi has one of the best abilities to product change. Anything else tickle your fancy?
The only other card they have that I would be interested in is the Costco.
I just changed my Diamond Preferred to a Double Cash a few days back, and I'm hopeful the decision will end up being a wise one. As a Diamond Preferred the account never had BT offers other than the initial offer when the account was opened, and my hope is that the PC to Double Cash will 'shake things up' and offers will eventually show up.
As for rewards, since I have the Limitless (2.5%, no redemption minimums) there's little reason to use the Double Cash other than for price protection, but since I've only used price protection once (ever) I don't see that being a big deal.
An eventual PC to a Costco Visa at some point in the future (if I ever become a Costco member) is my end-game for now. It's a shame that Citi's offerings are so unimaginative.
Edited to add: Congrats to @Anonymous on the CLI!
I opened my DC in Feb., started recieving BT offers in June and they just keep comming.

I like my bacon turkey.
The gold medal goes to duck bacon, though.
And I'd give beef plate bacon the silver medal.
Turkey certainly turns in a good bronze performance, as long as it's quality stuff. Anyone who has only tried something like Oscar Mayer turkey bacon I wouldn't blame for thinking that it's not very good. Imagine if P.F. Chang's was the only exposure someone had to Chinese cuisine?

@Anonymous... i think we are 3 miles from the zoo. I know to some it seems lame, but I am excited to see my GDD be excited.
I'm ready....tapping fingers waiting.....
It's one of the best zoos in the world. Hope you have some good walking shoes. There's also the safari park up north.
Coming up for some TGIF air.
CK says I've gained 4 pts on TU. Its either lower balances reporting or been a year since some HP hit. I'll take anything I can get these days.
DH is still not working. He thinks Grubhub is going to be his savior from working. I'm ready to do another round of home budget cuts. No fun activities planned for this weekend. Maybe he'll get the hint that making consistent money (aka normal paying job) does make our world go round and allows us to do fun stuff.
No news on AmEx reconsideration for BCE. I haven't had the time to follow up on it at the end of this week. BCE is still showing cancelled on my app. Sigh.....

Excellent analogy! 
I was watching the Food Network late one evening and they were featuring a deli in Canada that made their own beef bacon in-house; I admit it looked absolutely wonderful. It was so popular that they even incorporated it into some of their other dishes, even a dessert or two!

UH OH! there goes the good flavorful foods.. Expat is talking healthy options again.. 
Turkey bacon isnt aweful, but you have to get it from the ones that make pork bacon (oscar meyer/hormel/etc.) and not the ones that make turkey into bacon like butterball.. IMO

Only two stops at Job A today, but lots of driving.
Hope that you're all off to a good start, and don't apply for anything or we'll make you eat grits...
