I'm sure I'll get red from those who weren't able to make it happen

I'm not sure what cards it applies to, or if it happens every time, but it happened for me twice

went to apply for citi business (the one with 10000 bonus) hit back button on my browser, and got a popup offering another 5000 if i don't back out and go apply, as in 15000 total bonus points to sign up just because i almost didn't

of course i had to do it after that

try it. if it doesn't work for you oh well atleast i tried

edit

does this work with any other cards? i can only get it to work with business card

Call 800-288-4653 to check application status. It is the CitiBusiness number.

It's really amazing when you can make it 10000+5000 = 150000

Isn't this one easier? 15,000 points after first purchase. First year annual fee waive.

I wasn't aware they were waiving the annual fee...

anyhow, then now people have TWO cards they can get $150 bonus with!

before premier was the only one, and there were 2 personal and 1 business card you can get $100 bonus with

4 cards the limit isn't it? they only let you get 3 within a few months span anyhow

I think this one has a whole 10 dollar bonus to sign up through cardoffers.com, every little bit helps...

maybe try OP's trick to use cardoffers, try to back out of app. for equivalent of 210 bucks....

by the way, OP, thanks for share...I will try in my august aor...!

Anyway, I didn't get an instant approval on either card, but hopefully this'll be an easy $310 for me. Green for you OP. Thanks!

i think he was making fun of another poster's typo of 150000 bonus points instead of 15000.

I can't see to get the popup. I tried both IE and Firefox. Does anyone have a link to the right page? Do I just close the application window? Thanks.

Ahh, I see. YOu have to click File->Close from the menu. You can't hit the red X at the top right of the form.

how do you figure 310? 100 plus 50 per the OP suggestion for citi biz. or do the premier pass biz for 150 plus 10 from card offers....

start a business. call yourself your name d/b/a/ fw'er d-luxe .

They are working hard to compete in the small business market like discover and mbna(bofa) etc.

everyone thinks its a the hot market. so run it.

absolutely 100% legal. Check your local city laws and tax person about how you can run your business with minimal costs and maximum gain. everyone's gotta hussle

most business cards dont show on credit reports.

my advanta and AMEX business don't. I'm hoping the citi and discover do not show either. we shall see.

I also got 15,000 TY points for one of these CitiBusiness cards, although it was a phone offer that a CSR ambushed me with while I was applying for a personal card.

I didn't mind, points is points.
