Hat tip to DDG
Just got an email “Get select gift cards for 10% fewer points until 6/13/19.” but unfortunately they are useless ones.
ETA: with Citi Rewards+ card you also get 10% back, so a total of 19% off (0.9^2=0.81).
Only valid on 2/18 (“today only”) and apparently expired before midnight Pacific.
Figures…finally saw my 30000 points form opening a CITI Checking account back in November….on the 19th! LOL
This must be a targeted offer. I don’t see any discounts on the iTunes or Home Depot gift cards. No offer shows up on my acct. when I click the direct link
If we have the new Citi Rewards+ card (e.g. via PC from another card), can you also get the 10% points back, on top of these deals? The real question is, does the Citi Rewards+ card give 10% points back for all redemptions, even if the TY points were obtained with another card?
ETA: P2 got email, not me, but deals can be seen in both accounts, so it’s worth it to just log in and see. It’s today only.
Good question, maybe we’ll have to be the DP. I’m in
Yeah, I just did a redemption, so I’ll report back if the Citi Rewards+ card 10% points back applies, as it should, but who knows. It might take a while. (I got most of the points from a Citi Prem SUB, so there’s a question if it matters what’s the source of the points.)
I have two different “buckets”, one for my rewards+ and one for my premier. I can’t figure out how to move points from the premier to the rewards+ 🙁
I got TY Prem and TY Pref, and I converted the latter to the Rew+. They were all automatically connected to the same TYP account. It sounds like something got messed up in your account.
Thanks, yeah they seem disconnected. Given It’s citi, I’m as surprised of this as i am of seeing the sun in the morning
I actually had the same problem with AmEx (separate MR accts) and it took multiple screwups before they finally fixed it.
You will get the 10% back. I redeemed 25,000 points earned from two other cards on Super Bowl Sunday for a Best Buy gift card. Just checked and I see a 10% Points Back notation under my Rewards+ and 2500 points credited to my account.
did you convert a different Thank You card or something else? do you have one bucket of points or more than one?
Thanks for DP. Sounds like 10% points show up in a week or two. I’ll watch my account.
The email I got included TGI Fridays and Jiffy Lube. Yuck.
I believe the offers are open to all
