Final Thoughts

The 5x on the Prestige on grocery/gas is great, but it’s a real shame you’re limited to only 2,500 points. Feel free to share any other offers you received in the comments below.

  • I was targeted for the 3x on electronics stores on my Citi AA Business card (sent letter by mail, called in to activate). I spent $450 at Best Buy (don't plan to spend any more), any idea when my 3x points will be added? After the end of the promo period? Statement has closed and all I've got is the 1x for regular purchases.

  • Offer on an old AT&T Universal card.

    0% interest until 10/1/18 for everything. Useless to me because I never carry a balance.

  • Citi Dividend Rewards MC offer under *your offers*: after logging on.
    0.00% Promotional APR on new purchases Until 10/01/2018

    I did NOT receive any promotional email nor snail mail.

  • Didn't get a spend bonus, but did get a 0% APR on all purchases till 10/1/18 on my premier which isn't useful to me.

  • Meh. Chase UR points are more valuable for me and overlap most of these categories, and my insurance is not due this quarter.

  • How do you get these offers through your email? I had similar offer come via snail-mail last year. But It would be better if it was sent via email.

  • iS IT worth a call to Citi ever if you don't get targeted? Ask " i heard there is a new promotion out is there anyway I can be included?" probably you get picked by a computer for the promotion?

  • I think I've been spending too much on my Citi cards. No offers. Time to go back to the sock drawer.
