I used to churn Citibank credit cards every 18 months as the terms for bonus points used to be something like 'ineligible for bonus points if you hold or have held an open XXX card in the last 18 months'.
Now from the first sentence of their terms it sounds like if you've ever held the card you're ineligible for the points, whether it's velocity or flybuys. Has anyone had this issue?

Maybe it’s just Flybuys? 🤷🏽♂️
