Citi 12month or 18month rule?

[Kiran]

Does anyone know if it's possible to reapply for a Citi card that was canceled earlier this year and still be eligible for the bonus sign-up points? I couldn’t find any information about this on the Citi website

Neither AFAIK. No restrictions on Citi sign-up bonuses.

I came to ask this exactly questions, so will ask here instead of creating a new thread ...

I'm looking at swapping my current CitiPrestige that accrues CitiPoints to the Citi Qantas Prestige. Naturally I'd like the 125,000 sign on points. I note from the T&C that there doesn't appear to be any exclusion period however the offer is not available to those that are switching or transferring between Citi products.

So my question is, how long should I leave it between cancelling the current card and applying for the Qantas card of the exact same nature? I presume I'd need to leave it at least a month or so to ensure the current account was closed?

Any advice would be much appreciated!

personally, I'd close the account and wait a billing period - for absolute confidence the account is closed, nil balance and officially dead. this is based upon my multiple disappointing Citi experiences -- most inflexibility of their policies
