Smoking hot! Citi Platinum American Express Card offers 5 thankyou points for every dollar spent at supermarkets, gas stations and drugstores and 3 points for other purchases. The offer is good for 24 months. There is no pre-set spend limit for this card. The annual fee is free for the first year and $99 after that (who wants to keep it?). Plus you can get 15,000 points after spending $300 in 3 months. You can get the benefits for an American Express card holder. You can have the VIP access in the airport lounge! Wait there are more benefits: Make your next trip more affordable with unlimited companion tickets on domestic and international airlines to hundreds of destinations on several domestic and international airlines including Virgin Atlantic and Mexican Airlines. Emm! A nice card! I promise I will try to get this card at least for the first year. It seems this is the second 5% rewards card. The drawback for the previous one is limited 3 months’ 5% rewards.

PS: I try to find good cards for everyone! Make sure you can visit my web daily. Another point is: this is a charge card not a credit card. You have to pay full every month. (get confused on credit card and charge card? wait for next post)

Maybe this is a very old credit card deal, and you guys might all know this deal. But I want to say it again because it’s a nice credit card. Citi professional mastercard with thankyou network is offering 10,000 thankyou points after first purchase. The 10,000 points can be redeem as a $100 gift card good for a lot of retail stores. You can get 3 points for every dollar spent at gas stations, drugstores, restaurants, car rentals and office suppliers. This card also provide 0 APR for balance transfer up to 9 months with $0 fee. It’s really a good card for those in need of money.

I applied for this card and got denied! I called in and talked to a credit analyst who told me that I need at lest one year credit history to get this card. Citi professional card is a hybrid personal/business card. It will show up on your credit report.

Citi Cards now offer the PDF copied for our Citi Cards Holders. The monthly default choice is still the html and you have go further to request it. When you put your mouse on “view my account”, there is a new option—”Request a PDF Statement”. Then go ahead and click it. You can choose to see which month statement you want to review. After a while (usually one day) you can see the X (0,1,2,3,4,5,6) “Statement Ready”, click “view”. Then you can see the statements you want. It’s obviously useful for those who are still receiving paper statements. This is really a great improvement, since you can’t see the rewards information in previous monthly html statements. And we all prefer to read our statements in PDF format, don’t we?
