Is Amex’s Platinum Business Card Worth $12 Extra A Month?

Posted on by . 3 Replies

No denying this has been a big year for change in the credit card landscape. Hyatt changed its policy on how cash and points nights are determined, the Citi Prestige 4th night free benefit is fading into the sunset, and Amex updated the Gold card benefits. Just when you’re catching your breath, ouch, American Express strikes yet again with an annual fee increase on the Business Platinum credit card.

Citibank Changes Its Annual Fee Rebate Policy

Posted on by . 8 Replies

Seems like Citibank and their credit cards are on my mind lately. First it was making sure I had used my Citi Prestige airline credit benefit before this year ended. Then I mourned the upcoming changes to my Prestige card. Next up on my year-end credit card review and to-do list was looking at my credit cards and deciding which to keep and which to let go.

Don’t Overlook These Citi Prestige Card Updates: The Good, The Bad, And The Really Bad

Posted on by . 7 Replies

Credit card benefit changes are inevitable. Ok, that’s stating the obvious. But benefit changes do seem to be coming at us fast and furiously these days. The Citi Prestige credit card is up for some changes starting in January. As often is the case when my my go-to credit card benefits change, I have mixed feelings about these changes. Change can be good, bad, or really bad, as proven by these Citi Prestige upcoming changes.

Don’t Make This Mistake With Your Citi Prestige Travel Benefits

Posted on by . 6 Replies

Travel benefits are one of the best ways to offset the annual fees on credit cards. It can be complicated keeping track of them, what the benefits are, and whether or not we’ve used them. And in the case of the airline travel benefit that comes with the Citi Prestige card, even downright tricky. And I don’t want you to make the mistake I almost made. Let me explain.

Citi Double Cash: $125 Cash Back Sign Up Bonus After $625 Spend (Targeted Referral)

Posted on by . 50 Replies

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.

Good afternoon everyone.  Last week, I received this email from Citi regarding my Citi Double Cash Credit Card.  I can earn up to $500 cash back for referring 5 people to the Citi Double Cash Credit Card.  Strangely, Citi also wants me to spend $500 on my Citi Double Cash Credit Card in the next 12 months.  That is not a problem, since I use this credit card often to earn 2% cash back on my purchases.  I normally use my American Express Blue Business Plus Credit Card since it earns 2x Membership Rewards Points on all purchases, but if American Express is not accepted by the merchant / retailer, I go with my Citi Double Cash Credit Card.  Here is the email I received from Citi.
