$100 Bonus for Citibank Professional Card
Citibank is still offering it’s Professional Card that includes a sign up bonus of 10k thank you points. This is the equivalent of $100 if you trade those points in for a gift card or student loan rebate. The card also gives back 3 thank you points (~3%) for auto rentals, restaurants, gas stations, and certain office supply stores. I am pretty sure I have gotten the extra thank you points from Office Depot so I know that one counts. It also gives 1 thank you point for all other purchases.
You simply need to make a purchase after receiving the card to get the bonus. Like most Citibank cards, there is a 0% interest balance transfer option available too. It lasts for 12 months from when you make the first transfer.
You don’t have to have a business or be a professional to apply. It has some business card features but it goes on your personal credit file and is listed in Citibank’s personal credit card section. It almost seems as if it is some hybrid of the two.

I have heard a couple people say what you’ve said about the Citi Professional card having “some business card features” and I’ve never quite understood what that means. In what way does it have business card features?
Are you referring just to its cash rebate structure that includes restaurants and office supplies? (Something that some other business cards have, but personal cards generally do not to have.)

It seems like citibank couldn’t make up their mind if they wanted this card to be a personal or business credit card.
The features I was referring to are that they say you have access to quartly and yearly reports, an online expense tool for taxes and billing customers, and can call for a personal business assistant. I haven’t used any of those before but they are the kind of things business cards have. I didn’t think about it but you are right…the restaurants and office supply points are generally the kind you find on business cards.
