I agree - link still works. When I click on the OP link, I still get the blank page but the prefix is http. If I change it to https I get the bridgetrack page with the 5% offer.

Huzzah, huzzah!!!!!

Just got my new card and verified that I have 5%. I applied about 6/12 using the 6/3 link in the OP.

Just got my $278.65 check in the mail from citi, thanks FW!

I just applied for a new one with the old account still open. I actually did the same thing before, so I currently have two CR cards with a new one that'll arrive next week hopefully.

Thanks. I was not sure applying a second card will work but I will probably do the same.
I clarified my post here in order to better detail the process for my wife getting her second CashReturns card.

6/19 - Applied using the bridgetrack link. Was instantly approved

6/20 - received two emails from Citi. One told me I was approved and I should get my card within a week. The other one said this:

Am I right in assuming that they just want to try to sell me other crap? I would think if it affected my application I would not have received an approval letter. What do you guys think?

I don't think this is a sales effort. Seems they're planning on moving you into another card, hopefully not. Please call them and report back. Thanks.

I too got a similar email and also a voice mail when i applied for cashreturns on 6/3/08. Its was a sales call, they offered me Citi Professional card, when i declined they made special offer for credit protector! It was really annoying.

I'll take as many cards as Citi wants to give me. The problem is, then they will complain that I have too many cards after calling me to proactively give me more cards. They have a similar level of consistency with thier consolidation procedures.

Applied 2nd card 6/23 from bridgetrack link.. approved instantly... Waiting for actual card to come.. holding off on spending for now.

Wifey took the additional Pro card, given an 8k limit, consolidated up to 26,900 (they stole $100 CL!), opened a Citi checking account using the card for funding initial deposit of 26,500, with on 0% purchases for 12 months, 1% rebate = $265. Oh a balance over on the card makes the checking account fee free, lol. As an extra possible bonus the checking account was opened under the 16k TY points offer, though that's not likely as she's already a checking customer. You know, I'd look forward to telemarketing calls if they all worked out so well.
