Good luck.

Thanks - that's excellent! And this offer also has a no-fee 0% BT for 12 months. It's unclear whether the annual fee is waived permanently or just for a year, but it seems worth applying for anyway.

Edit: Actually, the annual fee waiver does seem to be permanent. During the application process, I pulled up the terms and conditions page, and it said "Annual Fee: none".

I just got 2 Citi Cards. Rewards and Professional in the last two months. Should I try for this one or is that too many Citi CCs within 60 days?

Wow, that is potentially big, good catch BoG. I'm a big fan of PremierPass for airline travel, but am not a big fan of having to cancel the card every year to avoid the fee.

Wonder if it's a typo? Notice how the ad copy lists "no annual fee" on the basic level PP, but not on the elite?

Also, notice how there is a BT fee, and it's capped at $250 on Elite and $75 on basic?

Son of a.........I got this card on Monday and now this appears. DOH!

YourSofaKingdom said: However, the terms at the bottom of the ad page state (and this is with my emphasis), "The balance transfer fee is 3% of the amount of each balance you transfer ($5 minimum, $250 maximum), but waived with this offer."
Good point on the $250 BT fee being waived for first year. However, it's still a warning, because if this is a card that you might keep forever (now that there's no fee), then having a large BT fee down the road might discourage you from a random tasty BT offer down the road.

Of course, nothing is to prevent Citibank from changing existing card terms every once in a while anyway.

So how do you earn point for every mile you fly from this card? Have to buy through Citi? Or can buy from any travel agent and just use the PremierPass card? And same question for getting a complimentary companion ticket (through Citi or any travel agent)?

And how to redeem the points? Like how many points for ticket? And can buy directly from airline or other travel agent? Or must be through Citi?

great offer

applied (deferred)

no annual fee (ever it seems), full elite PP benefits and accruals, and no fee BT, + 15K TY points? this offer is too good to be true

ty OP

So what is a "qualifying ticket" for the free companion ticket?

Damn...Just got my Elite card 2 weeks ago with 75 bucks annual fee...should have waited
nice find OP green for ya

yes, all of your cards with ty points are combined into 1 account.

Anyone have luck converting their "regular" PP to PP Elite?

They have the usual promotion recommending upgrade, I will call in an hour and see if I can get this one going, this would be beyond wootness

Thanks just got approved! It doesn't mention the BT fee being waived, but it probably is right?

What makes it stand out? I mean, I've seen other cards with similar offerings.Please do share all those "other cards" with similar offerings just for signing up then ...

If that is so, add them HERE

Does anyone know how to Earn points for the tickets you buy for friends and family, plus the miles they fly?
Is it only possible when buying air tickets through citi agent?
Thank you.

d4ldtppsc said: Oh, you're looking for a travel card, RushnRockt. Well, I was going to post that from a quick search, there's the Citi Professional with 15,000 TY points, no annual fee, and 0% BT for 12 months with no BT fee. So Beckles, there you go.

I'm just saying that there's other cards offering such bonuses. I've read here that the companion pass isn't that great sometimes since it can be more expensive than buying 2 tickets since you have to go through the citi travel agent.

Citi Professional has bonus points for different categories. Citi PremierPass offers bonus points for buying tickets. That is the reason I gave you the link to the travel card thread. Comparing one TY points card to another is pointless, if they cover different categories, get them both like I did. Companion tickets are rarely a good deal no matter who offers them, on rare occasions they are indeed useful. This is not the main selling feature of the card. Previously, I have been getting my flying points without using Citi's agent and that's the main attraction of this card, especially if you use it together with all the other TY point cards from Citi.

Thank you.

Use the card to buy tickets, get points, no citi agent involved. That's how it worked for me before, but I have not bought a ticket in a few months. As I previously stated, thankyounetwork.com and their hotline are a much better to ask those questions.


Canceling a card because of 9 point drop? That's amusing, with enough CCs and history one card should not matter. I have 5 cards not showing CL and still surviving just fine.

One thing that the PremierPass offers above and beyond is the BVG, which is rarely found on a no fee card.

The CSR did not mention I would lose fix flight redemptions if I downgraded, found that out afterwards. So I called in about that, figured I could get some type of extra point promo for 3 months or whatever, but nothing so I just went with the cancellation.
