Citi PremierPass cards with their $200/$100 sign-up bonuses will be discontinued on 12/8/08

According to the following FW post, Citi PremierPass cards that currently offer $100 and $200 bonuses (10000 and 20000 TY points) will be discontinued on 12/8/08. The sign-up and earned TY points will apparently be still safe for 3 years.

by FW member ShaneM :

Thought I would start a new topic for this as opposed to adding onto an existing one, because I'm sure like myself, there are lots of people that this will affect. This is my daily spender card and I probably put $2000+ on this card every month.

Just received a letter today saying that the card is being discontinued as of December 8. Thank You points earned from the card are safe for 3 years.

I called into customer service and was told that I would have to reapply - they will not change my account over or roll the credit line into another account. I'm in the middle of an AOR and there would be no way I would be approved for any considerable limit at this time (current limit = 22K)

Update: Talked to a second CSR and am told I can reconsolidate my CL to another CitiBiz card or change it over into a "CitiBusiness Platinum Select" card. I opted for that, as I don't have another CitiBiz card. I had to call back to get more detail, but it seems that the card in question is really the CitiBusiness Card with ThankYou Network, available here on the Citi website. Number stays the same.

Important that you change over or reallocate before December 8; otherwise your account could be closed with no recourse for keeping the credit line.

Get 5% Cashback on Purchases at Supermarkets, Gas Stations, Drug Stores with Citibank and Associated Bank Cash Rebate Card

The best deal I could find is an unadvertised Associated Bank Cash Rebate Card. It is not advertised on their site and is offered in conjunction with Citi. The cash back rebate on gas is NOT a teaser rate but a permanent feature of the card. Here are the details:

- 5% cash rebate on supermarkets, gas stations, drug stores (drug stores = 5% back on prescriptions, another out-of-control expense).
- 1% on everything else.
- Max $300 Rebate Dollars every calendar year (equal to $500 in qualifying purchases/month)
- 0% BT for 9 months.
- No annual fee.

IMO this offer, so far in my search, has been the best "offer" that balances a non-teaser rate with a relatively high rebate limit.

To apply you have to call 1-877-577-9485 (the application process is automated so be prepared to spend around 10 minutes on the phone). To begin I simply pressed the button to say that I found out about the offer via some flyer.

As with all rebate cards the interest rate on purchases is high - prime + 7.99% for this one. It's important to try and pay off your balance each month.

Hope this helps someone - gas prices are horrible.

UPDATE: I just got off the phone with customer service and confirmed that the 5% cash back is NOT an introductory rate, it's good for the life of the card (that's the point, no more opening/closing accounts to take advantage of teaser rates).
