For those of us who got the “Online Purchase” promotion, what do you think counts as online? The bonus won’t post until after the promotion ends and I’d like to make sure I actually get the bonus.

I tried to buy a $15 eBay GC using PPDG with the $10 FB coupon and the order ended up canceling for some reason. I want to see if this bonus 5x will still code as 5x since it’s an online purchase or not. It’s possible Citi is using the same system to block online GCs at ATT, but that’s also a different division of Citi – so fingers crossed! I hope I can place a PPDG order soon.

I received 5x on Online purchases. I accepted another deal last month 0% financing for x months. I have been hitting this card hard with plastiq no fee masterpass promo. I would think plastiq will also code as 5x since its online. This has been a good few months for me and citi as citi is the only card I can push through the masterpass promo.

“Earn 5x ThankYou points on Grocery Stores, Gas Stations , Drugstores & Mass Transit & Commuter Transportation Vendors. Up to 2,500 points ”

I got this one on my AT&T Universal Card (ancient no-AF card).

I also have TYP Premier card, on which I got a retention bonus a few months ago of 500 bonus points for every month I do $500+ spend, on the TYP Premier I have gotten no 5x bonus so far.

Does anyone with more than one TYP card ever get this kind of 5x offer on more than one TYP card at the same time?

Right I was thinking about plastiq too. Problem is that earlier this year the AT&T Access More no longer gets 3X on Plastiq, at least for mortgage payment, which makes me think that plastiq no longer codes as “online purchase” for Citi MC. Anyway, just a hypothesis.

My subject line was “[name], Use Your Citi Card to Earn a Bonus Statement Credit on Eligible Purchases: It’s So Simple to Activate!” I assume it would be different for the TY points, since that’s not a statement credit. What do you mean by a trap? Why would you get shut down?

When I called and complained about not being targeted for one of the spending offers, I received an offer and then a confirmed letter for six months of purchases at 0% for my Citi Dividend. This came in handy for Home Depot purchases this quarter.
