Don't Rush the Citi AA Offers

I'm getting lots of comments and questions on the new AA 75K and 100K offers. I don't have all the answers (nobody ever does with Citibank) but what is everybody's rush? The links clearly show that we have until October to apply. I'm waiting til more info becomes available re: first time cardmember, targeting etc before I jump in. More of us may get emails.

Hang in there until there is more data available before rushing in.

It is All So Tempting

The current promos just have me in a tailspin. Katy's 5K SPG bonus for loyalty has already posted. 22,500 of my Chase Continental Business debit card promo have hit my account. Katy has 66,000 CO miles at present and we are heading to the bank to get her 25K CO for the same promo. When I transfer my free 25K Amex points from the free Premier Travel Rewards card I applied for last spring to CO, I'll be close to 80 K for a first class ticket to Hawaii on CO. I have the Chase Sapphire Preferred app in progress which will give me the few CO miles left I need to get to the 80K number.

I've got about 50K SPG points and awaiting the remaining 20K from my new SPG card as the difference from my original card sign up bonus. I just had to write SPG on Katy's behalf to see if she cancelled her SPG business card and reapplied will they give her 30K more. We already know the answer. They put her on the "we'll get back to you in 14 days" category. She has perfect credit so that will add another 30K to the pile.

I just sent my letter to Amex to assure myself if I cancel my SPG business card and get approved for a new one, I'll get the 30K as well.

It appears we will be going back to Hawaii for just the cost of the debit cards, and this time probably staying at the Poipu Beach Sheraton for a whopping 10 days if we so desire.

It can happen, does happen, and will happen for you if you follow the promo rules, keep your copies of documentation and take care of your credit scores. I love it when a plan comes together.

REMEMBER the 30K SPG link is only on my July 14th blog post. Do not use my ads for the remainder of this month.

Watch Your Email for BIG Citicard AA Offers

Don't delete your emails prematurely. A reader informed me, his Mom got a targeted offer for 50K AA on sign up and 50K more after a big minimum spend. There is also a thread on Flyertalk about 75K sign up bonuses so watch your emails and keep us all informed if you get a dandy offer. And the first year fees are also being waived. Keep your eyes open.

Details. We are all looking for details.

Targeted?
First Time cardholders?
Which cards are being offered? Visa, MC, Amex? Personal and Business?

As I suggested last fall, the big offers are continuing as the card companies need customers to charge and then earn their fees.

I'll sign up if the offer is right.
