[Targeted] Citi Sears: Spending Bonus For Travel & Entertainment Purchases

The Offer

  • Citi has sent out targeted spending bonuses on the Citi Sears card:
    • Get 10% back on travel purchases (Up to $100 per month) from 7/1 – 12/31

Our Verdict

Should stack with this offer from the start of the year. These types of offers are why this card is listed as the #1 store card.

  • Forgive me, I don't use the airline loyalty programs.

    Do any of those programs allow you to purchase gift cards using CC instead of points?

    Do any of those code as travel?

    I will test it myself if you can point me to a portal.

    • Travel Charges: 7/3 and 7/7
      Seeing credits for both charges 7/11, might have posted earlier neither had posted as of 7/8. Both have a posting date of 6/29 lol but no activity and exactly match the expected Jul credits.

    • I wasn’t targeted for the travel statement credit but my experience for the 5% on home improvement statement credits and online shopping credit is that the statement credit posts 1 day after the purchase posts. Probably the same for this one. For the GGR, it takes until middle of following month to post.

  • Does anyone have multiple SYW Mastercards (or a SYW MC & Sears MC)? Is it possible to apply for another?

  • Just as a datapoint, I got this offer. It's my first offer since I believe the end of 2022, when I had been regularly getting generous offers for years before then.. I had NOT been putting spend on the card recently (I had been until maybe 6 months ago to try and encourage offers.

    So to summarize, perhaps if you stop getting offers the right approach is to stop spending for 6 months. Although in my previous experience, once you get offers, it is best to spend a lot so that the offers are even better.

  • I just got this one and the GGR ($150 off $1000) today. They both came around the same time!

    I've had this card since February and have only gotten the 0% interest offers before.

  • Just got this offer via email today. Wild and awesome that this one doesn’t have a minimum spend like the other offers!

  • I did not receive any mail or email (yet) but this did appear in the "offer" section in the management website. Not sure how to take advantage of it really though.
