On January 29th, 2017 Citi are making some changes to their Citi Easy Deals program. Previously Citi Easy Deals has allowed you to purchase merchandise at a discounted price, but you had to pay points to access the deals. Under the new program points will no longer require points, instead there will be three tiers based on your annual purchases:
- Base tier ($0 minimum annual purchases): gives you access to great local coupons for restaurants, shops and services near you
- Enhanced tier ($100 minimum annual purchases): gives you access to Base tier benefits as well as deals to save on gift cards and magazines
- Plus tier ($500 minimum annual purchases): gives you access to Base tier and Enhanced tier benefits as well as daily deals, plus savings on merchandise and travel
Existing cardholders will have access to the Plus tier until December 31st, 2018. Citi Easy Deals has never been useful (I bet a lot of people didn’t even know about it), so hopefully this change also means a change in the types of deals they offer.
