Citi now changed the terms of their signup bonuses to require a wait of 24-months from when the bonus was last received to get it again. Previously, the rule had been that only an 18-month wait was required.

You are now only eligible for the bonus if the card was not opened or closed in the past 24 months.

Most cards are showing the new wording, including the AA cards, ThankYou cards (i.e. Prestige), Expedia, etc.

Exceptions: Certain links for the Hilton HHonors is still showing the 18-month wording for now, and some affiliate links are still showing 18-months for one of the AA cards. I also don’t see any wording on business cards (maybe business cards don’t have the rule?). The ATT card is also still showing the 18-month language at the moment.

Update 5/3/16: Now, all cards are showing the 24-month language, including ATT and business cards.

We’ll update the List of Churnable Credit Cards to reflect the change.
