- Others got the same offer for Hotels instead of Airlines.
Our Verdict
Nice to see a broad category offer like Airlines or Hotels during the summer travel season.
Hat tip to reader patient of credit and to SD
I got this on my Citi American Airlines for the HOTELS.
Likewise for my Custom Cash. Have you traveled recently? I wonder if the fact that I have recently made a flurry of charges at out-of-state merchants may have triggered this travel-related offer.
I’ve been traveling, but not truly using the card (except in Oct to get eloped in Vegas).
I used the card once at a restaurant (not during travel, a few times at Food Lion Market (Citi Offers small promo) and once/twice on ebay (I think Etsy as well).
Same here. Balance transfer offer. Blah.
Didn’t get the offer. Fortunately, instead I was targeted for a Citi loan for the 90th time.
This offer is back
Did anyone receive the credit yet??
Got this offer on my Citi Double Cash today.
I received an email for this offer today if I spend $350 on hotels get $30 back (Citi Custom Cash).
I got the Hotels offer for my Citi Custom Cash upon logging in to website. Good until May 25. Of course, it was 30 minutes after I booked $1200 worth of hotel stay thru Expedia on the card. I activated it and hope it might apply. Now that I’ve activated it, I cannot find mention of it anywhere on the website. Will try installing the app.
Expedia will disqualify it. Here is verbiage “This offer excludes purchases made at warehouses and travel agencies.”
Does this stack with the 10% we get back from the Citi portal? I’m assuming not since it uses booking.com
Terms explicitly say no travel agencies, and historically Citi includes their own portal as an OTA.
Is there any hotel that allows prepay but is fully refundable? I checked a few, e.g., IHG, Hilton, but the prepay options are all nonrefundable
Some individual hotels do, or maybe hotels in particular locations where there are local rules about it, but AFAIK not whole chains everywhere. In other words, I occasionally read about someone running into that somewhere (I’m not interested myself, so I haven’t kept track of where it was), but it’s rare.
