I just don’t remember the terms for this card and can’t find them, either.

I’ve been approved since 11/16/05 but only did make my first purchase last week. They’re supposed to credit you $100 in your rewards column after your first purchase. What I don’t remember is if this first purchase had a time limit, like 30 days or something? My next statement will be in about two weeks so if anyone knows, please enlighten me.

When I got the offer (some days ago) I understood the offer as being for:

After your first purchase, they will add points such that its enough to redeem for $100 worth of products/vouchers.

But since I know the PP card requires one to redeem flight points + an equivalent number of purchase points, the question is, do they add 50%50% to these 2 areas, or just 100% to purchase points? Because if they do it for purchase points only you’re going to have to wait till after you buy an air ticket and fly to earn enough flight points.

Or perhaps a special one time exemption? That did not seem likely.

Anyway I decided not to go with the card. I’m just going to keep opening chase UA accounts and collect those bonus miles if I’m bored

Jane, the purchase has to be made within 60 days so your safe! They will appear under Special points/Bonus points earned and Citibank combines your flight and purchase points and the total can be used to purchase gift cards, merchandise, etc. It took two statements before my bonus points appeared.

Well I just logged into my Citibank PremierPass account online. My statement is ready and the $100 has been creditted to my “Thank You” account (no I don’t quite know how that works ). Since I made a couple purchases, I will get charged 50 cents a month, a whopping 6 bucks a year! Instead I will pay it off using MBNA’s Billpay and then transfer the BT back to Citibank. I hope something doesn’t go horribly wrong; that would be quite a sticky situation

Here is the website for the points redemption in case you don’t already know. www.thankyounetwork.com

I’m currently enjoying my 0% APR with them which lasts until October of this year.
