Citibank’s credit card lineup has always been solid – but never very exciting. It lacked the prestige of American Express. And its ThankYou rewards program never seemed to to score as high in consumer mindshare as Chase’s Ultimate Rewards program.
Then came news of Citi’s big coup: taking the Costco branded card business away from Amex.
This news was followed by the introduction of the amazing Double Cash Card and the revelation of the actual rewards program offered by the Costco Anywhere Visa.
Now it is clear that CitiCards are ready to offer rewards cards that are among the best in the industry.
Which means it may be time for you to check out the latest credit card offerings from Citi.
