Just a reminder if you are still using your Citi Dividend card. The downgraded version of the reward program starts today, October 13th. From now on, you will earn:
- 2% cash back on purchases made at supermarket, drugstores, and gas station;
- 2% cash back or more at convenience stores and for electricity, gas, water supply, refuse services, excluding phone services;
- 1% cash back on all other purchases;
- 1% cash back on cash advances.
In addition, the new program also has the following features:
- 5 dividend dollars for each balance transfer of $1500 or more;
- Dividend dollars redeemable after reaching 50 (payable with check at request);
- A maximum 300 dividend dollars in a calendar year.
I mainly used the card at gas stations and supermarket before. For 2% cash back, this card not better than my Fidelity 529 reward card offered by MBNA, which earns me 2% cash backs on all purchases. So I guess I will stop using it.
