Moved to Forum, appears to be a targeted offer: Original Link
Just notice and email from a couple of days ago. Good chance it's targeted seeing as no one else seems to have posted it, but I'd keep your eyes out for it. At 4.5 points per dollar spent, and with Citibank rewards being cheaper than the others I have seen, I'd imagine this is about the best reward scheme on the market at the moment.
I'm moving a couple of large purchases I had been planning forward to make the most of this deal.
Text from the email:
