Earlier today I received an offer to earn a bonus of 5,000 Citi ThankYou points!
This is much better than a similar offer I received back in April where I could earn a bonus of 2,500 points.
The offer is relatively easy to earn and is available on my Citi ThankYou Premier card. Before I continue I’ll mention that it does appear to be a targeted offer.
To earn the bonus I first need to add an authorized user so I can “earn points for every purchase they make — getting you closer to great rewards even faster,” according to the e-mail from Citi.
Once the authorized user is added the promo begins. Then, all I need to do is spend $3,000 on my Citi ThankYou Premier card by 9/30/16 to earn a bonus of 5,000 Citi ThankYou points!
The question is, should bother going for the bonus?
I’m currently working on the minimum spend of a new credit card and haven’t been doing any manufactured spend. Putting $3,000 on the card by 9/30 is certainly doable but is it really worth it? I guess I’ll have to think it over and decide.
Did you receive this offer from the Citi ThankYou Premier card? If so, do you plan to earn the bonus?
Umm. No. $3k is the min on basically every cc. So why put 3 thousand on this card to get 5000 points when that money could get u 50,000 pts or more???
Duh- Two reasons- Maybe you’re not working on the minimum spend on a new card. You want to build up your TY points.
