Citi DC: Anyone get the full 2% without paying?

I logged into my Citi account today and it appears that they've credited my rewards account for the full 2%, even though I have NOT made a payment yet. Has anyone else noticed this on their account?

Well, a payment is showing that it got credited to that account, otherwise the eligible payments would be 0.

Only no payment has been made yet. It should reflect 0. It appears to be a problem with the tracker, which resulted in me getting the 2% upon purchase. I wondered if others are experiencing the same glitch.

Mine displays correctly. Wouldn't be surprised if it is a bug with the tracker and that it gets corrected eventually.

Rigtht. What does it show as your balance? If the system thinks there was a payment, and it sticks, then the big news isn't that you got 2% straight away, it's that your purchases are free!

My detailed tracker finally showed up with numbers. What I think happened is that they took my last payment for the statement generated when my card was still a TYP. I PCed to DC and then paid that statement. So they do have a payment on file, just not for charges made after my card was converted. I suppose it will straighten out soon.

ETA: No free purchases unfortunately. I still have a balance.

Do I need to wait for a statement to generate before I make a payment in order to get my CB?

Yes, you need to wait for the statement. Now if you need to wait 2 statements to get the full CB, I'm unsure.
