Our Verdict
Not a huge maximum, but still useful for those targeted.
I got a snail mail letter with a QR-code invite link for bonus earnings on Restaurants, but the activation link says the bonus is for insurance providers, gym memberships, internet/cable and cell/landline providers.
Citi is one glitchy bank. Email is for additional points on restaurants. Activated offer is on other categorys for statement credit. Which is it?
Email:
Activate and earn an additional 4 points per $1 spent, up to 2,500 ThankYou® Points, on eligible business purchases1 made with your card at:
—————————————————————————————————-
After I activate the offer I get:
You’re earning 5% back in statement credits, up to $2,500, through 05/31/2025 when you use your Citi® Double Cash Card to pay bills in these categories: insurance providers, gym memberships, internet, cable & satellite providers, and cell & landline providers.
While that is glitchy, just in case you don’t know, the Citi Custom Cash card earns 5x on your top category EVERY month, and one of the available categories is restaurants. So if you really care that much about earning 5x on restaurants, maybe you should get a Custom Cash card for that.
Note: You can apply for one Custom Cash card, but you can later convert another TYP points card (at the very least) to a second Custom Cash card. And then, once the signup bonus limit has passed, you can reapply for the card you converted from.
By having two (or more?) Custom Cash cards, you can use each for a different 5% category in a given month.
PSA: double-check your offer once you’ve activated it. My invitation e-mail says gas, grocery, drugstores, restaurants, and mass transit. However, the confirmation page after activation doesn’t mention grocery. When I click again on the activation link, the “already activated” page also doesn’t mention grocery.
The confirmation also says I will earn 5 AAdvantage miles/$ even though my card isn’t an AA card.
Same here. Got the offer on Citi Premier card earning ThankYou points. After activation it showed I would earn 5x “AAdvantage miles”.
Just got following on Citi thank you preferred card:
Starting with your next purchase, you’ll earn an additional 4 ThankYou® Points per $1 spent, up to 2,500 points, now through 05/31/2025, when you use your Citi ThankYou® Preferred Card on eligible purchases.
Offer excludes restaurants, live entertainment, cable and popular streaming purchases that earn double ThankYou Points.
Purchases must post to your account during the promotional period to qualify.
I received this offer on my Citi Custom Cash Card
Activate and earn an additional 1 point per $1 spent, up to 2,500 ThankYou® Points, on eligible purchases made with your card at:
Gas stations
Grocery stores
Restaurants
Retail shopping
Good through May 31.
I got this one as well.
i like citibank 🤷♂️ ( when they approve me esp for a new card)
A bit vague of an offer. 5% on
I got online purchases.
Me too. Finally something i can use that won’t be so hard to do. 😂
This deal is back, I just got the email one hour ago.
I had the version for “Online purchases” that expired 12/31/20.
I can confirm that the bonus posted and successfully stacked with the 5% off $500 on Black Friday week. I just had a statement cut with the $25 credit from that offer. The bonus points for this “Get More Joy” weren’t notated on the statement itself, but they showed up as “Bonus Points Earned +2,000” on my ThankYou account anyway.
