The Highlights
Citi is a second tier bank in the points hobby that does have some great cards and transfer partners. Read more about Citi ThankYou points. Citi’s rules for getting approved are relatively unique, in particular on canceling cards.
Citi doesn’t allow for referrals on their cards, have fewer ongoing benefits, and make you wait 24 months after CANCELLATION. So we tend to keep them for a shorter amount of time than comparable cards from other banks.
When points appear
The statement credit should appear in two to three business days.
