DiscountSAE said:So I think the bridgetrack link is no longer working. I could get it to work a couple days ago (and should have applied, I am so mad at myself). I noticed that citi revamped their website for credit card users today, so I hope the bridgetrack link works again. If anyone has a working 5% link PLEASE post!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

Ok you can click on the bridgetrack link and you get the 5% offer, but I get an error when I try to click to apply. I have tried Microsoft and Firefox.

Is it seriously working for others???

Does anyone know if I am allowed to have two of these cards in the same name with the same offer. My 5% for 3 months ran out a few days ago. Am I eligible for another one. If not, can someone please quote where they saw that fine print. (Maybe under terms and conditions) etc...

I just received a strange statement (PDF online). I tried to payoff my card before the statment closes but somehow the payment posted faster than the charge (charged on Saturday and payment made on Monday) so I ended up with the payment made it in while the charge got posted to the next billing period:

Base CitiDollars Earned 1,500.15
Card Member Bonus CitiDollars Earned 6,000.6
Total CitiDollars Earned this period 7,500.75
Total CitiDollars Redeemed 7,500.75
Total CitiDollars Available 0.00

I am wondering if I will be getting 4% rebate or 5%? Anyone seen this before?

"Total CitiDollars Redeemed 7,500.75" <-- this is the size of the check you'll be getting (it seems to be 5% for you). Good job!

Thanks. Stupid me.

Did you receive the check yet? did they close the account?

Whats the largest CashReturns check that did you guys receive?

Yes I did receive the check. Thanks. No they have not closed my account.

In theory if you have a 100K limit and charge 100K everyday you can get 20 * 100K * 0.05 = 100K check.
So everyone fess up here which big fish lurking here is getting 100K checks?
I am starting to use this card again (got a BOA card since this was my only card) but have been flagged three times in 10 days to call in.

What department of Citi is flagging you account? Early fraud detection (which usually flags for large, frequent, or suspicious charges). Or are you getting flagged from someone else. Please explain what happens when you are "flagged" and how you resolve it.

I have just been approved for my 3rd CashReturns card. This time I got an initial CL of $7300 which will be reallocated to my current $29,700 CL from the 1st and 2nd cards. So far this has been a great opportunity. I have been averaging over a $1000 check every month with a best month of over $2000 CashBack.

On your 1st and 2d card, what's the total CashBack you've received from each? I'm asking, because I keep hearing about Citibank taking adverse action on these credit cards -- and it's unclear/unknown whether that's because there's too much spending on these cash rebate cards or too many inquiries on credit reports or for some other reasons (e.g., AORs?), so I wanted to get some kind of data point.

Myself, I've only had my 1st CashReturns card for 2 months now -- first CashBack check was for $350; this coming rebate check (hopefully next week) will be about $2500. Wanted to get an idea of how much more I can spend without drawing attention for AA.

Much appreciated.

I do not have an exact number off hand but I would say it will be about $7500 CashBack over the first 6 months with the 2 cards. With my first one my CL was only $19700 so I had to make payments throughout the month to release some more line to continue using. I use well over $20000 a month on my card and have yet to pay any finance charges except for a VERY small currency exchange for a Canadian purchase.

I have not applied for ANY other forms of credit since I had started with the Returns card so no inquires other than Citi.

$7.3K is a popular number as I just got this limit from them on my third card, applied 7/9 approved 7/10. What were your total existing credit lines with Citi prior to applying (is this your only existing citi card?)?
This is my only existing citi cc account. Closed several accounts years ago.

"General Error" now appears when you press the "Apply Now" button on the bridgetrack link. I think this is officially dead unless someone finds another link.

I just tried it, and didn't get an error message. If you're getting the error message consistently, then clearing your cache and/or cookies and/or history (if you're using Internet Explorer) might help. Just be aware of the consequences of doing so, such as having to re-register your computer for certain sites (including on-line banking), and possibly having to answer some security questions. You might also have to re-enter things like your Privacy Matters 1-2-3 account number, and so on.

I still clear the above items periodically, just to get rid of the excess garbage that tends to accumulate, including third-party advertising tracking cookies.
