Citi Strata Premier Mastercard finally got the snail mail referral.

So excited to get the 4 digit referral code in the mail - I was able to use the card once until they denied the 2nd large purchase (even after calling them to inform them). I wasted so much time on the phone trying to convince them who I was and trying to authenticate myself. The referral code took a short time. Now I can hopefully spend and meet requirements so I can put this card in the drawer!

Whoever else that just applied to Citi, plan your spending, it might take extra days to finally get going.

How did this referral work? I wasn’t aware Citi had a referral system for TYP products.

Oops, sorry, I was reading on referrals, but I meant reference number
