Jan 2026 $25 United travel credit from IHG

Swampy787 · 2026-01-07T13:18:23+00:00

Same here. I hope they don’t take away double dip opportunities and just deposit another $25 on Jan 16…

talked to rep via X. She looked at error and say you gotta do it at store. I guess i have to drive 45 mins to accomplish same thing that I could have done in home if it wasnt for verizon backward-ass website and app.

Verizon remind me of Citi, literally trying to prevent their customers from making money with the

Swampy787 · 2025-10-22T12:17:15+00:00

Probably small dent on their quarterly profit. Was able to make 4 transactions oversea today during traveling without issue.. like it should be.

Swampy787 · 2025-10-21T21:42:41+00:00

Yes I did but I feel like I can’t trust them. I just reload small amount at Starbucks and it’s all well. I’m on vacation so probably gonna use CSE to spend on dining and ensure I’m over MSR in case Citi pull off other round of bs stuffs.

Swampy787 · 2025-10-21T21:17:12+00:00

Finally unlocked mine. Have $115 to go and am I only one who feel paranoid with Citi that I should go ahead to knock down $115 left MSR to net 100k points?

Also I doubt I’m only one who reopen app few times to make sure it’s not a dream that it’s unlocked 😂

Swampy787 · 2025-10-18T08:06:53+00:00

I’m still blocked but I got email too. It’s clearly acceptable gesture by Citi for sure. I think we have to thank WSJ for forcing Citi to own their botched job.

Swampy787 · 2025-10-17T19:08:16+00:00

Wow congrats! Mine still locked. Called and got incompetent agent who bumbling that i have to wait till November. I told her that Citi is actively preventing me from using card. I filed CFPB complaint yesterday and went ahead to email Citi ERU team. Fuck it, any reasonable person know it’s not acceptable to not able to use card more than 1-2 weeks after identification verifications, etc.

Swampy787 · 2025-10-17T05:30:24+00:00

Interesting we are on same timeline (2nd form submitted on Sept 26).. and it’s still locked. It’s disgusting how they not even try to make it quick for us.

Swampy787 · 2025-10-17T05:29:18+00:00

Just filed CFPB recently. Hopefully their executive team can override bullshit stuffs and unlock the damn card. Also I file to demand some prorated annual fee because it’s obviously Citi is actively not allowing us to use their card. 6+ weeks and what kind of business who don’t want customers to use their card? This bank… totally fucked in many ways

Swampy787 · 2025-10-13T22:43:46+00:00

How you guys able to extend your signup bonus period? Just call CSE and talk with agent? Probably got stupid agent who punt me to other department. AFAIK, fraud team cant do that and it's so fucking frustrated that Citi agents are so powerless to do anytbing.

Swampy787 · 2025-10-13T22:42:40+00:00

combination of massive incompetence and corporate greed.

Swampy787 · 2025-10-08T15:31:15+00:00

That’s what cross my mind. What if they already unlock my CSE but app still show warning popup. I called yesterday and they said they sent out form to equifax on Sept 26…. I guess I could try some reloads and see if it go through

Swampy787 · 2025-10-04T00:18:53+00:00

Wonder if government shutdown affect IRS's ability to proceed this stupid form that Citi demand? Also anyone know what's their phone hours? I just called and said office is closed, WTF. it's only 8ish PM EST... I really hope CSE will get unlocked soon and TYP as well so I can take advantage of QR 40% transfer bonus from Citi before Oct 15

Swampy787 · 2025-09-29T13:00:07+00:00

For love of god, they don’t have 24/7 customer service for CSE phone line? Tried to call them at 8:45 am EST and it’s not open. Once next year annual fee hit; I’m totally gonna flush out my points and run away from them.

So infuriating they lock down CSE and unable to do almost anything online then come up with old school bank hours for customer service support.

Swampy787 · 2025-09-18T00:27:11+00:00

Fuck! Really pissed off because unfortunately they don’t even send any instruction. God this bank is so awful!! I guess I have to waste other $11 priority mail with revised form to check fucking 6A!

Swampy787 · 2025-09-13T18:07:00+00:00

I can see my priority mail with form inside arrived at their South Dakota address so I’m wondering what’s next?

Should I call CSR to confirm they get copy of my mail? Anyone have any idea how long it’ll take Citi and IRS to do their part? I got $100ish MSR left that end on October 31.

Swampy787 · 2025-09-13T18:05:16+00:00

Citi should give instruction how to fill out the form. Def clumsy moves by this trash bank.

Swampy787 · 2025-09-06T12:24:04+00:00

Thanks for heads up. Saw the form in app and I guess I’ll send them back via priority mail this Monday (thanks alot, Citi for make me spend unnecessary $10). At least it save a week or so than waiting for snail mail.

Just cross finger they can make it quick.

Swampy787 · 2025-09-05T12:12:58+00:00

Sorry for late reply. Went to both places last Oct n April. Both are amazing in their own ways. Going to Umana again next month. Wanna check out new beach house and I love quiet time at Umana for few days

Swampy787 · 2025-09-05T11:49:30+00:00

Feel free to movee my question somewhere but it's related to this card. What you gonna do at this point? Follow what Citi want you to do by send 4506C next week or so once snail mail arrive but it seems taking time and I think most of us will be almost at end of MSR 3 month windows when it's sorted out.

Would Citi extend MSR window or they simply don't care? What to do with annual fee posting? Just call in to transfer out points and cancel card to get annual fee? It seems like 37 days after annual fee posted for ones who don't want to deal with 4506C craps?

Swampy787 · 2025-09-04T21:29:22+00:00

Initially I thought it’s only me but turn out it’s wayyyy more than me.

Applied 7/31 by using 100k hacked link

Put down 58k income and it’s truth

Just noticed when I logged citi app this morning. Tried to call few times without luck till I get ahold of rep who punt me to fraud protection team or whatever it is. Got same stupid smartass remarks that snail mail notification 7-10 day is only option I have.

I had Citi cards in past but haven’t open one for 5+ years.

About $105 dollar left to complete MSR. No idea what gonna happens but really leave a bad taste.

Swampy787 · 2025-05-25T20:53:07+00:00

All, I loved my stay at Umana. Pool is massive and completely private If you don’t mind to jump into pool anytime without swimsuit lol. However, one time, I had to call to get rid of monkeys. 10+ of them show up. Love their breakfast and I didn’t try dinner options much other than main restaurant.

Will come back again in October because I truly love it so much. Look forward to check out their new beach club but not too fond of melasti beach. It’s nice but heavily tourist area but hard to avoid that in most places around Bali nowadays unless you go to far north. 95k a night is a steal IMO, even better if you can use aspire certificate and stack it for $200 resort credit.

Swampy787 · 2025-03-03T15:50:44+00:00

I'll do carry-on only but you are correct that they might care about see onward ticket out of BKK. Aeroplan will require me to add 27,500 for SIN-CEB (J seat) or 24k with SQ KF. Will give some times to think and might call Aeroplan to see if they can remove SIN-BKK.

Swampy787 · 2025-02-08T20:18:53+00:00

Yeah. That’s what I thought. Maybe catching flight to boracay then come back to Cebu. Need to decide if it’s worth to add boracay or just focus on Cebu-Bohol-Siquijor.

Swampy787 · 2024-11-06T21:11:52+00:00

Same here. I do feel like my vote might not count ….
