Heads up, Citi Dividend cardholders! Get ready to max out your rewards at the start of 2026. Citi has announced the Q1 2026 bonus categories for the Citi Dividend card, and it's a good one: you'll earn 5% cash back on purchases made at Amazon and on select streaming services.

Why does this matter? Well, if you're already buying from Amazon or subscribing to streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, or Spotify, this is essentially free money. Remember, the 5% applies to the first $6,000 you spend each year across all quarterly categories (meaning a maximum of $300 cash back total).

To take advantage of this, you'll need to activate the bonus categories. Look for the activation link (we've provided it above!) to register your card. Don't miss out on this easy way to boost your cash back earnings in the new year!

Why This Matters for Your Strategy

News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.

As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
