The Offer
- Get $25 back on your first purchase of $25 or more when you use CitiWallet
The Fine Print
- This is only available at merchants who are enrolled with MasterPass by MasterCard, you can view a full list here.
- Must use a Citi branded consumer MasterCard
- Valid until September 9th, 2014
- Statement credit will be applied within two billing cycles
- Card must be open at the time the statement credit is applied
- Valid for the first 4,000 who use it only. (This was added to the fine print, if you did the transaction early enough this should not apply to you. We imagine that 4,000 people have already done this promotion so it’s probably no longer worth doing).
Our Verdict
Update: This is only for the first 4,000 people, we imagine that 4,000 people have already completed this promotion. Do this at your own risk now.
If you have a Citi MasterCard, this is a no brainer. The hardest thing will be deciding what to purchase, fortunately NewEgg is a partner of MasterPass and they also sell third party gift cards. There is nothing which excludes gift card purchases so this should work fine. You could also sell your gift cards to a reselling company, make sure you check giftcardgranny for the best rates and also keep in mind you can get an additional 4% with cardpool if you use topcashback.
Warning: only valid for the first 4,000 purchases, and no indication is given as to whether they’ve hit that total.
This is true now, but this was NOT included in the original terms & conditions. If you did the deal before they changed the terms, feel free to use the screenshot included in this post when arguing about getting your statement credit.
Do you get another credit for AUs like sync promotions?
Can you get $25 for multiple different Citi MC? Or is it one time only no matter how many MC you have?
One time only
