Issuer Rules & Policies
PENDING

Rules: Bonus Eligibility: Applicants are generally ineligible for a welcome bonus if they have received a bonus or closed a card within the same product family (e.g., ThankYou, American Airlines) in the last 24 months. Application Rules: Citibank typically enforces a '1/8' rule (no more than one application for any Citi card within 8 days), a '2/65' rule (no more than two applications for personal Citi cards within 65 days), and a '1/90' rule (no more than one application for a Citi business card within 90 days). These rules are subject to change but are projected to remain consistent for 2026.

Max Cards Per Issuer: 6

Min Spend Interval: 3 months

Shutdown Risk Triggers: Manufactured spending (MS), high cumulative credit limit relative to income, rapid application for multiple cards (violating 1/8, 2/65 rules), excessive spending on gift cards or cash equivalents, frequent balance transfers without new organic spend, abuse of return policies, opening and closing accounts too quickly (churning behavior), inconsistent spending patterns (e.g., only meeting minimum spend then dormant).

Cliff Effect Rules: Citibank enforces 'card family' rules, meaning that eligibility for a welcome bonus is tied to other cards within the same product ecosystem (e.g., all ThankYou Points cards, all American Airlines co-branded cards). The 24-month rule (and sometimes 48-month for premium products) applies across these families, preventing bonus eligibility on any card within that family if a bonus was received or an account closed within the specified timeframe.
