On XXXX XXXX, a special offer appeared on Citicards for the Citi Thank You Preferred Card. The offer was for XXXX bonus points after making {$0.00} in purchases within 3 months of account opening. The typical offer is XXXX bonus points after making {$1500.00} in purchases within 3 months of account opening. So the improved offer certainly did n't seem out of the realm of possibility but rather seemed like a limited time offer that I wanted to take advantage of. I applied for the card and was approved instantly. 

After being approved, reports started to circulate around the internet that Citi representatives were informing card applicants who called that the offer was a mistake and that it would not be honored. 

I also chatted with a Citi agent online who informed me the offer was a mistake. 

Whether it was a mistake or not is irrelevant here. I went to Citi 's own page, the offer was clear as day ( I took a snapshot and will attach in this complaint ), I applied for the credit card based on the offer and was approved. It can not be that a credit card company changes the offer after an applicant applies for and receives the credit card. It is outright fraud and the credit card company must honor the offer.
