I have Citigold but was never told about this benefit. Do other big banks have anything similar to this?

Citigold® Private Client (CPC) members get $500 and Citigold® members get $200 per new-to-Citi friend or family member referred that opens a Citibank® consumer checking account. You should receive a shareable referral link by email or be able to get one by speaking to a Citi relationship manager. Terms from previous referral periods: https://web.archive.org/web/20240219162224/https://online.citi.com/JRS/popups/MGM_CPC.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20240722040324/https://online.citi.com/JRS/popups/MGM_Citigold.pdf

I did. I paid my renewal Costco membership online on 9/4/24 for $130, and I got reimbursed for $130 on 9/10/24. The reimbursement fund went into my Citigold checking account saying “Debit Card Purchase Adjustment, Citigold CR Costco Rebate”

Yes. Or just buy a $120 gift card (or $120+tax depending on state) at Costco for the second “renewal.”

Is this still valid for 2024?
Also I heard if it’s +tax it woulden’t trigger the credit. Since memberships don’t have tax.

Any folks receive a rebate recently? Renewed a Costco membership, but no rebate after a ~week.

Called Citigold and rep told me to wait 7-10 days. From previous years’ experience, it generally took 1-2 days, so a bit surprised.

My account had some technical difficulties so was not reimbursed automatically, so my relationship manager had to file a case for me about 10 business days after the purchase date.

That case was approved so I got my rebate a few days later

9/10 CitiGold account opened online
9/29 CitiGold e-mail received inviting to activate $200 benefit and did so online.
9/30 Confirmation e-mail that subscription rebate program now registered / activated

All this was with minimal funding, so the subscription invite e-mail is only tied to CitiGold relationship level and not meeting the funding requirement to keep it

If you don’t get it “automatically”, a relationship manager has to send it out. Bug your contact or maybe a branch near you to get the invite.

The customer must have received a direct invitation from Citibank to participate in this program – So not every citigold account will have this benefit? How does one get an invitation from Citi?

Any folks know if a partial reimbursement works, up to the $200 limit?

Say I purchase/get reimbursed $120 fo Costco membership. If I then purchase Amazon Prime for $139 + tax, would I receive $80 for the partial cost of Prime?

Thanks

I Google’d around. It looks like a partial reimbursement should work, per this Flyertalk thread:
