Issuer Rules

Rules: For 2026, Citibank's primary bonus eligibility rule for '089' (and similar personal cards) is the 24-month rule: Applicants are generally not eligible for a new cardmember bonus if they have received a bonus for a card within the same product family (e.g., ThankYou, AAdvantage, Custom Cash), or closed a card within the same product family, in the past 24 months. Application velocity rules typically include an 8/65 rule for personal cards (no more than 1 personal card application in 8 days, and no more than 2 personal card applications in 65 days). Business card applications are generally limited to one every 90 days. A good to excellent credit score (typically 670+ FICO) is required for approval.

Maximum Cards Per Issuer: 7

Minimum Spend Interval: 3 months (some premium offers may extend to 6 months)

Shutdown Risk Triggers: Manufactured spending (e.g., excessive gift card purchases, payment of rent/mortgage via credit card for points), high cumulative credit limit across all Citibank products, rapid credit cycling, defaulting on other Citibank accounts, suspicious account activity, applying for excessive credit across multiple issuers in a short period, not using the card after meeting the bonus spend, or repeated product changes followed by bonus eligibility attempts.
