My Base CitiDollars Earned is exactly 1% of my purchases on my statement less a balance that was from a card that was closed and consolidated to the CashReturns card. The Cardmember Bonus CitiDollars Earned is exactly 4x the Base CitiDollars Earned. I had a small balance owed on my statement that doesn't lessen my bonus amount. My statement also says this:

Bonus Cash Back may take one to two billing cycles to appear on your statement.


Well.... my statement just closed online for the first month, and my "rewards" are a straight 1%. Were you able to see the "bonus Cash Back" online, or only on a paper statement?
As mentioned before in this thread, you can't see the additional 4% bonus online. It's either on a paper statement (unless you've requested paperless statements), or you can request a PDF statement, which usually becomes "ready" within 24 hours. Using those options will tell you whether or not you received the total 5% Cash Back.

6/16 - Called today to check on application status for my wife's 6/12 application for a second CashReturns card, which, on the offer screen, stated 5% Cash Back for the first three months. Her application was officially approved today, with a CL of 44.5K, which confirms that in addition to $500 CL given to the card, 24K of 25K CL on my wife's first CashReturns card was re-allocated to the new CashReturns card, and that her Citi Professional Cash Card was closed and its 20K CL consolidated to the new CashReturns CL.

ETA: Today (6/17), received e-mail confirming approval of new CashReturns card with a 44.5K CL.

6/20 - Received cards for my wife and me (I'm an authorized user), called CashReturns CSR and confirmed 5% for first 3 months.

But the T&C never did indicate that, so what of it?

UncleSam said:I am wondering if anybody has tried to pay for a winnning bid on eBay motors through PayPal and then used a Credit Card to fund the Paypal account. If so, I may be able to get 5% of the purchase price of car as Cash Back. I would appreciate if somebody could provide advice or share their experience.

CashBack is good on any purchase, anywhere, anything.

I've done multiple PayPal transactions on eBay with the CashReturns card, and they all worked OK for me. I don't see it being any different on an eBay motors transaction. Just be sure the CashReturns card is being used, instead of your linked bank account.

Also be sure you have enough of a credit line to cover the purchase.

no doubt!

PDF statement does include the "bonus" Cash Back!

before the May 31 deadline -- about May 27.

if you're confirming you're receiving 5% Cash Back, please tell us 1) when you applied and (more importantly) 2) which link you used.

So I applied on Tuesday, hoping to catch the 5% before it goes away. As of today, there was no new inquiry showing on PM123, so I called the status line. They wanted to pull Experian, but with it frozen they needed my access code to process the application.

They refused to pull either of the other bureaus instead. They said it had to be Experian, as the computer randomly selected that one and it couldnt be changed. Which is wierd, as Citi has ALWAYS pulled Equifax for me in the past.

If it was in fact random, perhaps submitting a new application is in order?

I just applied today via Bridgetrack link and they pulled TU. Application is deferred. I'll post an update later.
