Citi Custom Cash - Targeted Offer

[DeschutesMyVaronis]

It looks like Citi is sending out a targeted offer that effectivly makes it 10% CB on your top spend category. I think you would also get 5% up to max spend amount regardless of top category.

This almost slipped past me so I thought I'd post on here for others awareness to check their email. Subject line: "<Name>, You’re invited! Activate this limited-time offer today."

This popped up in my email while I was standing in the checkout line at Stater Bros. with $382 in groceries...

Amex BCP went back in the wallet and Citi gets to be a grocery card this cycle.

Nice! (Heads over to the offers portal to look around)

I've been dedicating my custom cash to groceries the last few months and maxing out the cap.

This will come in handy.

I also got this offer in my email today. I wonder what it means when it says "Shopping at your favorite retailers." I can't seem to find any info on that. If somebody can find out and post it on the thread it would be great (:

I came here to post this too. Starting tomorrow, my second discover card (still in cashback match) will be getting gas put on it from a targeted offer and I will use this for restaurants.

I think they are just trying to consolidate the regular 5% list of 10 categories for brevity.

Restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, select travel, select transit, select streaming services, drugstores, home improvement stores, fitness clubs, live entertainment.

I think they're just throwing out for clarity's sake and motivational purposes some common types of spend that can be used to earn bonus TYP.   Retail shopping, which in Cit-speak generally includes brick-and-mortar department stores, is not a 5% spend category but still nets 6 TYP per dollar spent.

Off the top of my head this is one of the best non-Searscard non-SUB offers I've seen coming from Citi in a while.

I got a nearly identical offer.  I wasn't offered useful categories for this cashback card, though.  It was for travel.

Wow 10% cashback for a whole month!  Nice offer indeed!  Something to think about when I feel the need to apply for this card in the near future.  Thanks for sharing.
