Tips & Ideas

This is a nice little deal, especially if you have several Citi cards seeing as you can enroll all your cards provided they’re eligible. Note that this is a statement credit offer, so on cards which earn points (e.g. Citi Premier, American Airlines, etc.) you’ll earn the standard number of points and a 5% statement credit rather than 5x points.

It’ll also stack with other offers. For example, the Citi Dividend card is offering 5% at Best Buy and online warehouse club purchases, so buying from those stores online should earn you a total of 10% back – a 5% statement credit and 5% in rewards.

Citi being Citi, their website sucks and you might get error messages when trying to log in. That happened in different browsers and in incognito mode for me, but I managed to log in and register in incognito mode using Chrome on my phone, so mobile might be the way to go if you’re having similar issues.

I’ll republish this post on November 24 once the offer has gone live.
