Last week, there was a flurry of posts by many affiliate link bloggers that the public signup bonus on the Citibank AA Platinum Select and CitiBusiness AA cards were going to be reduced. While they ultimately were correct that their links were going to be reduced, they failed to mention (and still are failing to mention), that you can still get both cards with a 50,000 mile signup bonus even though it wouldn’t be from their affiliate links. Now I don’t mean to toot my own horn but I called this exact scenario playing out as with Citi’s history, I knew there would be 50k links floating around somewhere and sure enough they are out there.
1) Here is the Direct Link to the 50k Offer on the Citi AA Platinum Select Card
2) Here is the Direct Link to the 50k Offer on the CitiBusiness AA Platinum Select Card
CitiBusiness 50k Offer
Let this example serve as a friendly reminder of which blogs have your best interest in mind. Compare the number of blog posts before this offer supposedly was ending (“3 Days Left”, “Final Chance”, “Last Call” etc.) and now see how many of those same bloggers mention anything about these links.
(H/T to Dem Flyers for the CitiBusiness Link)
Hi Ralph, do you think these floating links are more common to Citi or across all credit card companies? I have the Platinum and didn’t pull the trigger on the Business yet as I have a couple other cards to min spend on right now.

I think this is most prevalent with Citi by far. Amex you can try incognito browsers to get a better offer. For others it is tougher

I tried this link today for the personal card and got an error message. Does this mean it is gone?

Quite possibly. There might be other links with the offer – I’ll try to take a look when I’m back from my trip.
