It still works. Bought a $130 Costco gift card and auto reimbursed after few days. I’m going to buy a $65 Costco gift card.

so we have to buy the gift of membership for $130 and $65? I notice the actual gift card is $50 increments. And the gift of membership works as gift cards>?

No, I just bought the Costco shop card. Just tell the cashier you want $130 and pay with your debit card. Verify the reimbursement happens and then buy $65 card or you can buy another $130 card.

$65 Gift card to Costco did not get auto reimbursed for me. Did anyone contact Citi for a GC reimbursement? I doubt it will work.

I got reimbursed for $65 gift card automatically. I am scared to contact Citi in case they ask, “why so many memberships”?

I have Citigold but was never told about this benefit. Do other big banks have anything similar to this?

Citigold® Private Client (CPC) members get $500 and Citigold® members get $200 per new-to-Citi friend or family member referred that opens a Citibank® consumer checking account. You should receive a shareable referral link by email or be able to get one by speaking to a Citi relationship manager. Terms from previous referral periods: https://web.archive.org/web/20240219162224/https://online.citi.com/JRS/popups/MGM_CPC.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20240722040324/https://online.citi.com/JRS/popups/MGM_Citigold.pdf

I did. I paid my renewal Costco membership online on 9/4/24 for $130, and I got reimbursed for $130 on 9/10/24. The reimbursement fund went into my Citigold checking account saying “Debit Card Purchase Adjustment, Citigold CR Costco Rebate”

Yes. Or just buy a $120 gift card (or $120+tax depending on state) at Costco for the second “renewal.”

Is this still valid for 2024?
Also I heard if it’s +tax it woulden’t trigger the credit. Since memberships don’t have tax.

Any folks receive a rebate recently? Renewed a Costco membership, but no rebate after a ~week.

Called Citigold and rep told me to wait 7-10 days. From previous years’ experience, it generally took 1-2 days, so a bit surprised.

My account had some technical difficulties so was not reimbursed automatically, so my relationship manager had to file a case for me about 10 business days after the purchase date.

That case was approved so I got my rebate a few days later
