mountainview posted this little gem here, but I felt it deserved its own thread.

OLD LINK. Don't use, see below.

"Automatic Cash.Back on purchases. Who wouldn’t like that? With the Citi CashReturnsSM MasterCard®, you’ll earn 5% Cash.Back on all purchases for 3 months and 1% thereafter. It’s smart, it’s simple, it’s automatic. Receive your Cash.Back redemption check automatically after you earn 50 CitiDollarsSM. Plus, there's no limit to the amount of Cash.Back you can earn."

No limit? Even for the first 3 months? I see no mention of any caps for Cash.Back during the promotional period.

Update 4/24

Citi's latest version of CashReturns is useless, but this link still has the original offer:

https://www.citicards.com/cards/wv/copy.do?screenID=1381

Be careful to take snapshots of the offer page and T&C in case Citi neglects to give you the correct version.

Update 5/17

The screenID=1381 link no longer works. Use the link below.

https://www.citicards.com/cards/wv/copy.do?screenID=1388

Update 6/3

ScreenID=1388 appears dead. The link below is through a third party. YMMV.

Max CshBck Reward for Balance Transfers = $5 (not 5% unlimited)

Courtesy of TheHimalayas:

"From talking to Citi, the rewards are based on transaction date, and not on posting date. BTW, here is a handy calculator to figure out when your 90 days ends:

Date Calculator

Add 90 days to the "member since" date shown in the "Rewards" section. That date would be your end date (inclusive of that day)."

Intersting. Very interesting. Time to start haggling those car salesman to allow max CC charge. Or buy a bunch of bonds? Hope this card sticks around until November...

I was thinking paypaling myself money.

there are alot of creative ways to do this one since the CashBack is so high, a bit of processing fees wont hurt.

Kind of no easy way to get the most out from this card...no 0% APR on purchase and no cap on BT fee. Good, if u charge a lot of $$$$$.

Just checked and of course the pull was from Experian, Why the heck can't I get any pulls from EQ or TU?

what's wrong with Experian?

Also another question - do you have to pay a balance transfer fee for the initial balance transfer?

CashReturnsSM?!

New Citi moniker. Maybe they got self-pwned so badly by their stupid Dividend debacle that they are doing away with the name all together.

Is it possible to convert another citi card to this in order to take advantage of the 5% Cash Back?

I think if you try to Paypal a huge amount of money, they will probably lock the account due to activity out of character

Not sure if you can convert but I called CITI and asked if I could close and reallocate my line from Diamonds Preferred to this one and was told I could. So as soon as I get mine I plan on doing that. Hope I get a decent line and then I can add the $62,500 CL. Got that high by Closing my CITI Hilton and adding to my Diamond. So I only have 1 CITI card and should have no problem getting this one

does it have to be easy for you too? NO ONE WOULD WANT TO DO A BT ON THIS CARD ANYWAYS, THATS NOT WHAT ANY 5% CARD I HAVE EVER SEEN SHOULD BE USED FOR.
