Issuer Rules

Rules: Eligibility for the welcome bonus on the Citi Rewards+ card is subject to Citibank's 24-month rule. Applicants are generally not eligible for a new cardmember bonus if they have received a bonus for the Citi Rewards+ card, or for any card in the ThankYou Points family (e.g., Citi Premier, Citi Custom Cash, etc.), or closed such an account, within the past 24 months. Citibank also enforces application velocity rules, typically allowing no more than one new credit card approval within an 8-day period and no more than two new credit card approvals within a 65-day period across all Citi credit card products.

Maximum Cards Per Issuer: 5

Minimum Spend Interval: 3 months

Shutdown Risk Triggers: Manufactured spending (especially high volumes or unusual patterns), high cumulative credit limit across all Citi accounts relative to income, excessive credit cycling (paying off balances multiple times within a statement period), abuse of return policies to meet spending requirements, rapid application for multiple cards across different issuers, frequent opening and closing of accounts (churning behavior), suspicious or fraudulent activity, failure to make timely payments.

Top Positive Feedback:
Automatic rounding up of rewards to the nearest 10 points is a great perk, especially for small purchases. Good for everyday spending and offers a decent sign-up bonus.

Top Negative Feedback:
Rewards rate can be low for larger purchases compared to other cards, and the 10% points back on redemptions is capped.
