Citi ThankYou Premier 10,000 Point Bonus

I received a pretty lucrative bonus offer from Citi via email this morning,

10,000 bonus point offer

By spending 3,000 (between 4/15 and 7/15) on my Citi ThankYou Premier card, I'll earn an additional 10,000 bonus points.  Note that 10,000 points are on top of the already strong earnings potential of the ThankYou card which earns 3x on travel and 2x on dining and entertainment.

Citi ThankYou earnings potential

Let's assume that your spend is split evenly between travel, dining, and other.  If you received this promotion and take meet the spend requirements, you'd earn:

  • 10,000 bonus points
  • 3,000 points for travel spend
  • 2,000 points for dining and entertainment spend
  • 1,000 points for all other spend

That is a total of 15,000 points for 3,000 in spend of 5x.  VERY hard to top that with any other easily achievable method.  This card is 100% going back in my wallet for the next few months.

Interestingly enough, the promotion lines up with my card anniversary which is in late June.  I'll work to receive the bonus prior - if the points post, I'll cancel the card.  If they don't, I'll give Citi a call for a retention offer.
