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.
Application Rules
Card approval not subject to 5-personal-cards-in-24-months rule
You'll be declined if you apply for a third Citi card within 65 days
You'll be declined if you apply for a second Citi card (business and/or personal) within 8 days
You'll be declined if there are 6 or more hard inquiries on your credit report the past 6 months
You may be rejected when applying for a Citi credit card if your credit has been pulled within the last five days (by any bank).
What to Know Before Canceling
CitiBank may credit you your unused annual fee.
