Citi Diamond Preferred Amazon offer

AverageJoesCredit — Sun, 23 Aug 2020 15:01:20 GMT

Email received from Citi on my DP that i could use my DP at Amazon to set up a fixed promo plan at 0% apr on eligble purchases until 9/02/20.

The bigger the purchase the more payment options available ie monrhs of equal payments. Purchase like $100+, $149+, $300+, $600+, $1200+ can see equal payments at 0% apr of anywhere from 3 to 6 to 9, 18, 24, 36, all the way up to 48 on $1200+ .

Pretty good offer for those who want time to pay off. Just thought id share.

Yep. Got this on my Rewards+ too. I hope they keep offering these because while I have no use for it now, I do want to build a new computer after the RTX 3000 and Zen 3 chips drop later this year and being able to do so for $50 a month would be an easy sell for me.

Obviously I would need to succeed in getting a CLI or two from them first though.

Yeah, i figured someone could find value here. No interest is always good

I got this on DC, along with a general-purpose 0% offer until 4/1/21.

I'll probably keep maximizing rewards, though. I have cash to PIF, I don't have any major transactions coming up, and 7 months isn't really that long. Plus, within the quarterly cap, WWFCR gives me 5.25% with a longer 0% period.

Thanks for sharing Joe!

I have a question for you or Saeren or both of you. Does the Citi Diamond Prefered card offer extended warranty benefits?

I would like to get a Citi card one day, but am worried about the extra card benefits that have been removed recently from some of their cards.

Honestly im not sure. I really dont use those benefits even when they had them. Maybe @Anonymous can elaborate. I did recently get a 1.99% apr offer on my DC which i axtivated but doubt i will use.

For you or anyone else with the card:

go to "Rewards & Benefits" at the top

click "Card Benefits" in the drop-down menu

Then bring up the DP card with "View My Cards"

Then look under "Quick Links" for a post-9/22/19 guide or "Shopping" to see if there's an extended warranty mentioned

Huh! Well I am glad I saw this before I responded to AJC because my Rewards+ DOES have Extended Warranty benefits!

I was under the impression that Citi got rid of this for all of their cards except the Citi Costco! I even scrolled back up to doublecheck the date.

"This Guide includes important
details about the benefits that
come with Your Card.
Effective date: September 22, 2019"

Bummer that the DC doesn't, I was actually thinking about getting a DC if it had it. Oh well, guess I'm keeping my Rewards+ then. Kinda really hope that they offer that 0% interest on Amazon again because extending a 3 year graphics card warranty to 5 years at the cost of about something like $20-$40 in rewards sounds like a great trade off.

While I've had good experiences with Citi's contracted benefit administrators, the regular Citi customer service is still pretty bad.

I've had smooth experiences returning stuff to Costco, but if I have concerns about the merchant and suspect I might need to dispute or return something, I tend to favor Amex.

Having good benefits on paper is only half the battle sometimes.

Happy to help...perhaps making up for the fact that my excessive use of Price Rewind likely contributed to the nerfs.

Well I order the vast majority of my stuff through Amazon (Amazon.com or FBA) so that I only have to deal with Amazon customer service, which has always been great, when something goes wrong. I dunno, we will see if Citi ever lets me out of the "presence of BK" CLI jail. I just took my weekly shot and we will see what the online letter says in a few days.

I don't see the benefit in paying AMEX $95 for my BCP though so regardless, they won't be an option after October.

I too saw this option for my card too, and honestly don't see using it, but I guess more options are not a bad thing.
