Citi is usually very good about matching current credit card offers as is Chase. So when I saw that the 50k HHonors after 1k spend was increased to 75k after 2k spend I thought a quick call would yield 25k more points.
It did not. The friendly agent confirmed that Citi can adjust offers if there is a better one except when it involves Hilton. He is reviewing the call to see if any promises were made to match the offer and will get back to me this week.
Even though this card is churnable, it would be quite a shame to see 25k points go to waste because I prematurely applied for a card with a bonus that went from 40 to 50 to 75.
Anyone have the better HHonor offer honored?
They offered me a $100 statement credit instead of the matched points, which Citi said they couldn’t do.
Craig, who is they? Citi or Hilton? I’m assuming Citi but i’m confused
Citi. I asked to be matched (had the 60k variety), and they said points werent available and after asking to speak to a supervisor I was offered $100 (much better than 15k Hilton points IMO). I am a Citigold client, so unsure if that had anything to do with it.
I guess defining a pronoun is parmount to using one :).
Ah yes the old antecedent.
I’m going to ask for Thank You Points if that’s the case.
