Citi offering cardholders additional 5% cashback for online purchases

Just in time for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Citi has just announced a promo giving their credit card holders 5% or 5x cashback on all online purchases between 11/24-11/30.  Most if not all Citi credit card holders appear to be eligible for this offer, which maxes out after you hit $500 in online purchases.  Registration is required and open between 11/16-11/30.  If you have multiple Citi cards, enrollment is required for each card, and you'd be able to get 5% cashback on up to $500 in purchases for each card.

  • Registration is required November 16-30, 2020, at citi.com/giving
  • Online purchases made November 24-30, 2020, are eligible
  • Cardmembers can receive 5% cash back for up to $500 in online purchases, in addition to the rewards they usually earn
  • The 5% cash back will post within one to two billing cycles
  • Card members must have an eligible account as of 10/23/2020.  New card members and accounts opened after 10/23/2020 are not eligible

If you max out on this offer, you'll earn up to $25 or 2,500 Citi ThankYou points for each card.  What's great about this offer is that the bonus cashback/points is in addition to what your card already earns on points.  So if you have a card like the Citi Premier which earns 3x at restaurants and grocery stores including delivery services like Doordash and Instacart, you'd get 8x for these purchases.


Quick thoughts

This is a fantastic offer for the entire portfolio of Citi cards.  As the majority of Black Friday deals will be online this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, you can probably easily max out on this offer at Amazon alone.  Keep in mind that the online merchant must code the purchase as an online transaction in order for you to be eligible to earn 5%, so mobile wallet purchases may not qualify.

Citi temporarily adds American Airlines as a mileage transfer partner!

Image
In a surprise move, Citi has added American Airlines as a transfer partner for their ThankYou Points (TYP) earning credit cards.  What's especially intriguing is that even no annual fee cards that normally don't offer transfers to loyalty programs are eligible for this new and temporary partnership, albeit at a lower transfer ratio.  Citi's premium line of cards, including the Prestige and the Premier, both have 1:1 transfer capability with AAdvantage miles (1,000 TYP = 1,000 AAdvantage miles).  Whereas no annual fee cards, including the ThankYou Preferred and the Rewards+, get a 2:1 transfer ratio (1,000 TYP = 500 AAdvantage miles).  This transfer partnership is valid from July 18 through November 13, though one could speculate that it could be extended. American Airlines AAdvantage program was the only loyalty program out of the three U.S. legacy carriers that didn't have a 1:1 transfer partner with any credit card accounts.  Delta has long been a transfer partner wit

Park Hyatt Sydney review

Image
For our trip to Australia's east coast, we started off with a 4-night stay in Sydney.  We decided to stay at the Park Hyatt Sydney as it has been consistently rated as one of the best Hyatt luxury properties worldwide.  The hotel, located in the heart of Sydney Harbor at the Rocks, is famous for its stunning views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Price As a category 8 hotel, the Park Hyatt Sydney is Hyatt's most expensive award category ranging from 35k-45k points per night.  Fortunately, since we were traveling during Australia's "slower" winter season, we were able to get off-peak rates of 35k for most of our nights in a standard 1 King Bed room. Seeing how the hotel's standard rooms were over $700 a night during our stay, this was a pretty good redemption value at well over 2 cents per point.  This hotel is also known for releasing tons of free night award space, even during peak travel times.  This is atypical for many Hyatt top-tier hotels such as t
