Heads up, Citi cardholders! Citi's jumped into the merchant offer game, similar to what Amex and Chase already offer. Basically, you'll find targeted deals from various retailers directly within your Citi account. Activate the offer, use your Citi card to pay, and boom – you'll earn cashback or bonus points on those purchases.
Why should you care? Because it's basically free money (or points!). These offers can stack with other rewards you're already earning, like your card's base rewards rate. Keep an eye on your Citi account for deals on things you actually buy—restaurants, clothing stores, you name it. It's a simple way to stretch your travel budget a little further, or rack up those points for your next adventure even faster!
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.
