Why your Citi Card keeps getting declined for gift card purchases
I’ve recently been struggling with my new Citi AAdvantage Platinum Card and fraud alerts. I’ve had about four in the last week and became extremely frustrated. But a nice gal on Saturday morning straightened me out. With new Citi cards, if they see a transaction over about $400 from Kroger, […]
Upcoming Citi Double Cash to Thank You Points opportunities
I’ve got the Citi Double Cash card and for the most part, it just sits in the sock drawer. I can do better on non-bonus category spend with my BofA Travel Rewards card at 2.625% on travel credits. And my Amex Business Blue card combined with my Schwab Platinum card […]

Up until this point, I thought of Citi Price Rewind as a nice marketing bullet point that probably didn’t work or wasn’t worth the effort. Either way, I probably wouldn’t use it since I rarely make purchases big enough to make this benefit worthwhile. Then an item I purchased from […]
I was denied a Citi Prestige Card…for “too many credit inquiries”
About a month ago, when Citi was still offering the 75,000 point bonus for the Prestige card, I decided to finally apply for it. I don’t have any ThankYou points and I knew the card’s 4th-night free benefit would be useful, so I went for it. I’m not a heavy […]
Amazing statement credits and bonus point offers from Amex, Citi, and Bank of America

One of the benefits of the Citi AAdvantage Executive World Elite Mastercard is Admirals Club Lounge membership, which normally costs $400 – 500 per year for new members. Starting today, Citi is extending Admirals Club lounge access to all authorized users. This is is pretty significant, since a day pass […]
