What If You Just Received the Lower Offer?
If you’ve recently applied for the lower 50,000 point offer on the Citi ThankYou Premier, it’s worth calling Citi to see if they’ll match the higher bonus.
Emily’s friend called this morning and was bumped to the 60,000 point offer. She’d applied for the card in July, but hasn’t received the sign-up bonus yet.
It can’t hurt to try!
