Long live SYW! 😂

WOW this thread has gotten long 
Just got off of a very frustrating call with Citi ... Hello Fresh which used to code as a grocery store no longer does. It looks like that change happened sometime around June/July... I just saw 3 months of expected bonus points (30,000) down the drain as I was just shy of the $1,000 spend each month without.
This (former Sears MC) was a great ride while it lasted, I've pocketed well over $10k with all these stacking bonus offers over the last 6 years or so... but I'm sock drawering the **bleep** thing now. I'm sure Citi is hapy with that decision - I was a very unprofitable customer for them with this card! It's just too **bleep** difficult and time consuming to track, and the changing categories is the final straw. Their lack of any kind of tracking SUCKS. This whole episode has taken me at least 5 phone calls, 2 letters, and 10 hours. Love Strata Elite and how it shows you every charge and what category it is assigned.
I'll suck it up and take 6% back on groceries with Amex BCP, 5.25% with BoA Customized Cash [Hello Fresh is considered online, 3% + 75% bonus], 6% back on dining (Fri-Sat, after 3pm PT) with Strata Elite, and 4% on everything else with USB Smartly.
It's a loss of $600/year of those lovely bonus points, but this tracking and calling (and the aggrivation) is worth more than that to me. Wish Citi would just merge the retail services cards to their mainline system!

If you haven't checked in in awhile, PayPal Debit is better for Groceries 
And no fee (or hard pull). BCP makes it's AF back on the Disney credits being increased though, if you use that.
New offer came in via USPS on my ThankYou card, 10X bonus TYP on total eligible in-store and online retail purchases each month Nov-Jan with minimum $800 spend that month and up to $1000 spend. I was wondering if Citi was going to stop offering promos after this calendar year on the old Sears cards, first positive sign I've seen that maybe they aren't.
Here's a picture from the back of the offer showing eligible categories, note the examples of purchase types not eligible.

From what I understand reading a little about this on DoC Citi is gonna have several versions of their Mastercard. Seems like they *might* keep the rewards program and hopefully the offers will keep coming in.
