So, I'm looking at my Citicard statement...and I notice that I have these "Points" and that I can sign in and get "GREAT DEALS".
Ok, I sign in and what I find is: That Unlike DISCOVER my Citi Points are basically worthless (just like Citibank)!
From their Citi Easy Deals website FAQs:
"Can I apply more than the specified amount of Citi Easy Deals Points when purchasing a product or service if I have enough Points in my Citi Easy Deals account?
No. You may only apply the specified amount of Points shown towards the
purchase of products and services on the Citi Easy Deals website. Any
remaining amount due after redeeming your Points must be paid for with
your eligible Citi® credit card at checkout."
So unlike my Discover plan that lets me redeem 45 points for a $45-50 gift card, No Extra Charges.....
Citi Easy Deal only allows me to redeem 5 points for a $50 gift card and charges the remaining $45 and other fees to my Citibank Credit Card! What the Hell am I missing here?
What
an unmitigated crock of shit..... These are the same greedy morons
who, AFTER GETTING a $300 BILLION Bail Out (courtesy of our tax
dollars)..... raised my interest rates...months after they lowered them
(I pay ahead of time and more than double the amount of the monthly
payment).
I guess I'll not be doing business with Citibank any time soon, or for that matter ever again.
I couldn't agree more! I called to see if they could transfer these points into a program that may encourage me to use the card again and they said no. I can change my card to a Thank You rewards card but the 5600 points just expire in 90 days.
