Our Verdict
Best deals are the ones available on grocery, gas and drugstores. Unfortunately the low spending cap means it’s not as useful as it would otherwise be.
Got the following offer on my Citi Rewards+ Card:
Use your card to earn 5 ThankYou Points per $1 spent, up to 2,500 points, through 09/30/2019 on eligible purchases1 you make at:
• Clothing Stores
• Computer & Electronics Stores
• Department Stores
• Toy Stores
Don’t forget, your Citi Rewards+SM Card rounds up to the nearest 10 points on every purchase!
Same here. Wife also got 5% on online shopping on Diamond Preferred. Both via email.
I got it on my rewards plus card. It says.’Use your card to earn 5 ThankYou Points per $1 spent, up to 2,500 points, through 09/30/2019 on eligible purchases¹ you make online.’
Today on my Citi Rewards+ card I received this email:
Use your card to earn 5 ThankYou Points per $1 spent, up to 2,500 points, through 09/30/2019 on eligible purchases¹ you make online.
Offer excludes gas station and supermarket purchases earning double ThankYou Points.
Don’t forget, your Citi Rewards+SM Card rounds up to the nearest 10 points on every purchase!
10x for dining, shopping, and travel (excluding gas and grocery) from Rewards+
Ditto. These categories are vague though, and I can’t find any clarification.
got same offer and equally confused here. Am I correct to assume it’s 10x on any purchase (except gas and groceries)?
Nothing on my Preferred card.
Received, activated for Expedia credit card. Reminded me that I even have an Expedia card…
Why would you ever open that card? To waste a 5/24 slot… ugh.
If they forgot they had it, they probably opened it over 2 years ago. Whether they didn’t need the slots or didn’t know they needed the slots, it’s perfectly excusable.
can you put the [targeted] tag on this one?
Sure
I didn’t receive any offer in my Dividend or Diamond, again. I guess that’s because I didn’t put much spend on my Citi cards.
My wife and I only got the offers on cards we almost never use.
4 citi cards for me – no offers – they all get a little usage though each month.
MileUp: 5 miles per $1 up to 2500 miles on clothing, computer & electronics, department, and toy stores
I received it on my Thank you Preferred: “10 Thank You Points per $1 spent, up to 2,500 points. Shopping, Groceries, Gas, Travel and more. Excludes dining and entertainment purchases earning double points.”
As far as I understand, it means 10 points for everything (not just shopping, groceries, gas and travel) except for dining and entertainment.
Any thoughts?
My thoughts exactly!!!
Yea, i’m not sure either…. I’m assuming everything is 10X besides dining and etnertainment.
