A bit over a week ago details were announced of a new promo that should be useful for anyone with a Citi credit card. This is a reminder of that, as the promotion is live for purchases as of today.

Ben...will we be able to get the 5% up to $500 spend on every card that we have...or just at 1 card? I mean...could we get $25 several times spending $500 at every card we have the offer?
Traderlatino - I registered for two cards separately. Seems to work... we'll see if it pays out.
Lucky, your second bullet point is wrong.
"This offer starts on 11/24/2020, or the date you enroll, whichever is later, and will end on 11/30/2020."
So if you enroll today, you can start shopping straight away.
James I think you have it backwards. It's the later of 11/24 or when you enroll. So if you enroll today it starts on 11/24. If you enroll on 11/27 instead, then it starts on 11/27.
Or at least that is the way I read it.
What about AT&T card which already gives you 3%. Will that make it to 3+5 to 8%?
I see this offer on my Prestige card but I'm a bit confused how this relates to the offer that was sent out about a month ago where you earn 5x points on online, cable, and streaming purchases. I can't imagine you can combine the two for 5% cashback + 5x points. What's the deal?
I just tried to register my Citi Double Cash card and it didn't work. After logging in at the link yo provided, it says to check back for offers.
Citi is on my sh*t list now. I have been using my Citi AA card as my primary purchasing card for years. My FICO is over 800 (TU is 812 out of 850). I pay all of my bills off every month. I spent $2000-4000 each month using the Citi card. My credit limit was $18k and suddenly dropped to $2k, I was unaware, and I started having trouble making purchases. They dropped my limit to below what I spend each month! Then they want me to jump through hoops to get it raised back up. Forget it. I'll switch to my Barclay card, or Chase, or Am Ex, or anyone else. I know credit card companies have been lowering limits during this COVID debacle, but $18k down to $2k when my FICO is above 800 and I spend $2-4k per month on that card?? Beware everyone, it can happen to you too.
If I purchase hotel points with my Citi business credit card does this qualify has a 5% rebate purchase?
I have the same question as @MT. Does reloading Amazon balance count as an online purchase?
@bq. My understanding is that you get both bonuses.
What about PayPal? Will this work if paying with PayPal?
What are everyone's thoughts on if this would apply to paying medical bills online and/or making charitable contributions online?
I understand Citi reserves the right to determine which purchases qualify for additional rewards, but don't know how their purchase tagging systems work.
Thanks!
Do purchases made online on Citi Premier count for the 5% bonus? This card is already awarding 5X Thankyou Points for purchases directly with airlines.
Anyone get less than expected back on their bill this month? I looked before I logged the charges that they said online in Citi's website and should have had about $150 over the $500 max on one card. Expected it to be around $23-25 (a few charges might have been early). But I only got $8. I paid a lot through paypal and suspect that someone didn't qualify for the extra 5%. Anyone see the same thing?
