Updated 10:30pm PT on 11/18: I have reached my cap of 20 referrals, I cannot refer any more people.  If you were referred, you should receive an email from Citi within a few days.  Thank you to everyone who used my referral link and good luck with your application.

Full Disclosure: This post is out of the norm for me, but I thought it would help some of my readers.  Citi sent me a targeted email where I can earn up to $500 cash back for referring 5 readers to the Citi Double Cash Credit Card.  I would normally not post this on my blog, but if you use my referral link, you can earn $125 cash back as a sign up bonus.  If you were to apply for this credit card directly on Citi’s website, the Citi Double Cash Credit Card currently offers no sign up bonus, just “0% Intro APR on balance transfers for 18 months.”  By using my referral link, you earn $125 cash back and I earn $100 per referral.
