I just logged into my citi account today and was offered 5% CashBack at dept, electronics, and apparel places for 3 months - I believe it was a holiday promotion. If anyone else got this and was able to enroll, post your thoughts. I called citi to confirm this and so I could be more specific (alas the csr's were entirely useless), but I was told there was nothing showing in my account that indicated 5% earnings...and kept reiterating that I had to take advantage of the internet promotion when it was offered and which I kept saying I did, but just wanted more info.

Anyways, hopefully, the email I sent them will garner a better response from citi. I'll update if the rebate savings actually work or citi gets back to me about this promotion.

Just logged in to check. Found it under special offers. Here's the details:

It really sucks.
I am considering consolidating the card into my other card.

so you accepted it and the card only gave you 1%? did you try calling citi? i'm calling them right now and it seems they can't find the offer.
