CaptainAlias said:Does this card also come with the virtual CC# generation feature as well? Yes this card comes with Virtual CC generation, I think most of the premiem CIticards has that.
Be prepared to wait a bit for the GC. Most of the ones I wanted were on backorder and I was told 4-6 weeks until they'd be "on hand" and then another 4-6 weeks for shipping. I don't know if this is just a standard CS response or not, but I was a bit disappointed at the response. Perhaps they'd come in quicker (but IME, no less than 2 weeks after your order).
FWIW, I also got a 1,000 point "card activation bonus" with this card. Not sure why, but I'll take it.
Signed up for the offer, just mentioned that I got a flyer in the mail, there's no offer number to worry about. This rewards program seems pretty solid, there's no annual fee on the card, they give you $100 right off the bat after making your first purchase, and if you want to use the card for BTs you can get 0% for 12 months.
On the website it says that you can get no BT fee if you make a BT when you sign up, but I asked the CSR abou tit and he said that it's not available for this particular offer. Their BT fee is 3% (min $5 to max $50).
Be careful about on-time payments too... Citi likes to ream you if you're late. They're deliquent accounts APR is prime + 23.99% !!!

My mailed solicitation also said no BT fee and the online BT offer shows no fee (whereas, on my friend's 1.99% for life it shows 3% max $50). YMMV, of course.
montreid said:That sucks. I just ordered mine last week. Waiting for the Office Depot cards to come to use. 10,000 points posted about 2 months after acceptance.
FWIW, I received my item in roughly 2.5 weeks (ordered mid-December). The points took about a week after receiving the card to credit on citicards.com (the end of my billing period) and another week to show up on TYR.com. The "order history" still shows no shipping date or tracking number.
saw ad today for same card. apply at 1-800-509-8920. 0%bt through 2/1/06, no bt. 10k thankyou points = $100gc. yes the gc's take a while. 2 months for $100 gc at no cost to me is a hot deal.
I've ordered a few giftcards with my thankyou points, with turnaround ranging from 3 to 6 weeks on them. All of them came with no problem, but nowhere near as quickly as Discover CashBack bonuses.
Call 1-800-815-1387 to apply by 4/15/05 Points for $100 gift card if you make purchase within 3 months of account opening. Bonus points post within 1 to 2 billing cycles. 0% APR for BTs, but there's a 3% fee, min $5, max $50
I just received my card after signing up for this deal through the phone number above. The CSR tells me that no purchase is necessary to get the 10k points but I don't believe her so be aware that the reps don't know what they are talking about. They did tell me that there is no BT fee if BT is made before 3/01/05. That doesn't leave anyone much time if you haven't applied already since you should make a purchase first, pay it off (to insure you get the 10k points) and then BT. Would still like to get a scan if anyone has the ad and a scanner in case citi decides to 'forget' about the points as other threads have mentioned.
