$100 GIFT CARD FOR APPLYING TO AT&T UNIVERSAL REWARDS CARD CARD

Apologies if this is repost - but I didn't find this topic discussed.

I actually was under impression that AT&T Rewards Card is being discontinued but I found promo on AT&T web site at: http://www.consumer.att.com/
Some of the benefits: Rewards (points) program, 2 free directory assistance calls a month and up to 30 free phone minutes a month, 0% APR on balance transfers for 12 months (however there's a balance transfer fee...)

Here's the link: AT&T UNIVERSAL CARD

Wrong rewards card dude.

"However, there is no balance transfer transaction fee on balances you transfer in response to this offer."

$100 for a hard pull is a reasonable reward

Where does it mention the $100 giftcard?

Mailman said: This card has already been discussed here and is already included in one FFGuru's consolidated CC threads.
The sign-up offer seems to alternate between $50 and $100 every few weeks so I guess it's worth noting that it's back to $100 again.
As for being discontinued, you're getting this card confused with their CASH rewards card.

The $100 has been there for at least 4 months, I got the card about 3 months ago, seems like a pretty stable offer so far.
For people that want to keep it for the 5x points on everyday purchases, it might be a good idea to check with the Thankyounetwork about the card, since it seems to have a 12 month period for 5x points and then they go down to 1x, not clearly described on AT&Ts website YMMV

This card is being discontinued. I had this card and received notice a couple of months ago.

Are you sure its THIS Rewards card? This one is with the Thankyounetwork, not cash. I have it and no notice of discontinuation whatsoever.

It is the CASH card that is being discontinued NOT the REWARDS card. There is another thead that covers the discontinuance of the CASH card. I have the CASH card that is being discontinued. The link for the CASH card has already been removed from their site. However, there is a link to the REWARDS card. AT&T Credit Card Link

DELETED

Just talked to a CSR re my new ATT REwards Card...just to reiterate - the 5 points for gas, food, Drugstore only last for 12 months and while the balance transfer at 0 is a good deal - it is not a good deal if you have any purchases on your card when you transfer a balance. The CSR offered to mail me a check for the full line of credit LOL - so I said this is really stupid - why not give 0% on everything including purchases otherwise I will have to use another card I have to charge a high ticket item and then transfer the balance and in the meantime charge nothing to your card - he said - well, not everyone has more than one credit card.....I have a big dentist appointment coming up and forgot to see if they will take my AMEX 0% on balance transfers and purchases for 15 months so I was hoping to use this card as a backup....the whole thing gets more complicated now as I have to use the card one time to get the 10k thank you points then pay it quick and not use it again till after the dentist. Planning to do a big grocery shopping tomorrow.

I Just got my 10,000 points at the same time as the first statement became available online - I've had the account about 3 weeks and already sent in for the 2 shell gift cards at 50 bucks a piece - will take 4-6 weeks to get the cards.

They are trying to screw me. I looked at my rewards today and noticed that the bonus points had posted only instead of receiving 10k points I received 6.4k points. Citi CSR confirmed that I signed up for 6.4k and not 10k. They are supposedly going to ask the rewrds dept. that I get the rest of my points and told me that I would receive a letter within 7-10 business days. I wonder if anyone else had this happen.

yeah. Called yesterday after seeing my bonus points for first time.
I only got 5600 bonus points from misc category.
I called and CSR basically said the same thing to confirm, but i told him to look at the main page of universal card to see the offer is 10k points.
So he put in a dispute for me for the remaining 4400 points. What the heck!
I am supposed to get a notice in the mail within the next week. Or he says i could call in 48hours. might do that.

I got 5600 points as well, so there is something odd going on here. Started the same dispute process tonight. Did you by any chance apply thru cardoffers.com? Regardless, let me know your result and I will do the same.

yes.
But this should not matter because the terms and condition over at cardoffers for the universal card says that I would also get the 10k points.
I'll let you know after i get time to call em.

i got the 5600 bonus points instead of 4400 too. sent them a note through their site, though i suspect i'll probably have to call eventually to get it resolved. definitely annoying.

mhesidence said: Anyone know if the AT&T card counts towards your total max credit limit allowed by Citi?

This was my fourth citi card so I guess not. I have a diamond preferred, dividend, and AMEX card along with the ATT card I just received.

I got a letter concerning my dispute today.
classic promote one thing, do another.

Here's the main section of the letter:
blah blah
"Our records indicate your account was solicited to receive 5,600 bonus points with your enrollment in the ThankYou Redemptions Network.

The letter didn't specify where i could send a copy of the 10k points offer. But the top left of the letter has some address:
Customer Service Center
PO Box 45218

I think i will send back a copy of their letter and a printout of the offer over at cardoffers to this address.
They have the offer on their FRONTPAGE! universalcard.com 10k points!

That's what I received as well. I called and asked for a fax number so that I could fax THE FRONT PAGE FROM THEIR OWN WEBSITE. I am still waiting for some sort of reply from then.

And another confirmed today ... 5600 points. Already did battle with numerous website message exchanges, a phone call, and now a "Our records indicate" letter. What in the world is going on at Citibank ... actually trying to cheat customers? Not a good way build goodwill with new cardholders. I may cancel if this goes on much longer.

First statement just cut and they only gave me 5600 points. Emailed them through the "contact us" link and they said I need to send them the soliciation. I told them it was an online promotion; hope they accept the screenshot. Thanks for posting it mrmakochan.
