Deep Dive into the TY 1/24 Rule
This rule is unique to the Citi ThankYou family. Simply put -- you'll be declined for a ThankYou card if you have either opened or closed a Citi ThankYou card in the past 24 months. For this reason, and since we generally don't recommend the Prestige card, you might want to consider closing your Premier card after 10 months. ThankYou points will expire 90 days after cancellation, so make sure you have used them or have found a transfer home beforehand.
