Thanks OP! What area of the country is this ad from?

evanm said:Citibank has a new promo code F1G7 that was advertised in today's paper for the Citi Diamond Preferred Rewards card.

Highlights are

2 points per dollar on everything for 12 months.
0% APR on ballance transfers until 8/1/07 with no balance transfer fees
10,000 Thank you bonus points after first purchase


I'd use my other 5% card for groceries, Drugstore purchases and gas and use this one for everything else.

Seems like a straight 2% card for one year. Max spend is $37,500 for the year which will net you $750.

Unfortunately, to get the 2% I cant do a BT..

1-800-491-0848 or
Citicards application

Thanks this looks great. I think of it as a net $375 though, if you use it instead of a 1% card.

I take that back, this looks awesome, including $100 gift card??? I just finished an AOR, but geez this is tempting, I think I am in.

PS again im looking at the paper's website, what section was it?

It was in the coupon section of the paper.
see scan of ad back in first post...

Why won't you guys go for fidelity 529 card? It is straight 2% for ever. And yeah 10% penalty is only on earnings on rewards and not on the the rewards.

This sounds very good.

I'd be careful with that thought. I don't see where it says that.

Thank you EvanM for the scan. Yea I was considering that 529 card too. I have no children to send to college, but I guess that doesnt matter? I wasnt sure if there were restriction with 529 accounts that would be a disadvantage. So far I havent been able to find any, not have I been able to find a rule about restrictons for collge tuiition only.

I have been reading about it and I found there are no restrictions. There is a whole discussion on that thread too.

Yea this motivated me to apply for the 529 card instead. I opened an account, now im waiting to see if im approved for card...

What's the fidelity 529 card? Can anyone give a link for that major thread? Thanks!
