Wish it was Visa because Costco!
But I guess $500 isn't really that high….
Costco should be a wholesale club which is not one of the categories?

Grocery purchases from stores whose main business is not groceries like inside Walmart and Target are not considered for the grocery category. Online supermarkets and grocery delivery services are also not included.

Actually 500 is a pretty typical limit. Amex Blue Cash Preferred has 6000 limit per year which works out to be 500 per month and you have to pay $95 annual fee but gives you one extra percent back for groceries at 6% while Citi Custom has zero annual fee at 5% in highest spend category.

BofA Custom Cash back limit is 2500 each quarter total but gives 3% back in selected categories which does not include grocery.

As mentioned above, Chase rotating categories is 1500 limit per quarter which is averaging 500 per month.

Of course, with the Amex Blue Cash Preferred and BofA Custom Cash, you have more flexibility to spend more than $500 per month but then you can max out the limit quicker.

Quote from annonymous999 :
Does anybody know if City allows you to combine points with other Citi cards and if any of their points programs are worth it or if it's better to take the cash back Chase has some cards that give 1.5 times which makes it worth it and about seven and a half percent back on the freedom card for example when combined with the sapphire reserve
If you have more than one Citi credit cards and they have different thank you accounts then you can merge them into one thank you account and thus the points are combined.

Chase Sapphire does allow you to combine points and redeem thru Chase travel portal at 50% more or 1.5 but you will need to pay the $695 annual fee.

With the Citi cards, you either have a much lower annual fee or zero annual fee depending on the cards you have with them. For me, the Double Cash and Custom Cash works out the best with zero annual fee and 2% and 5% back respectively.

It would be nice if wholesale club is one of the categories. Very few cards offer extra percent back at Costco. You can get 2% back with the various 2% cards that are available or BofA Visa Custom Cash which gives 2% back at wholesale clubs.

Venmo Credit Card which will give 3% cash back on your top category up to $10,000 per year and wholesale clubs are included in the grocery category for their card.

Just signed up for the in-branch offer today. Need to spend $1000 to get $300 back. Promotion is still active, at least at my local branch in So Cal it is.

If we select grocery category for 5% do Walmart and Kroger purchase count towards this category ?

Kroger yes but Walmart no. Walmart is like Target, their main business is not groceries. See my post above to a similar question.

Didn't know about the Venmo Visa card pays 3% on wholesale club. Thanks.

Venmo card usually no sign-on bonus and must use the Venmo app only.

One will need to decide if it is worth it to keep a card for 1% more on wholesale club spend. Or get a 5% category back card back with sign-on bonus and a flat 2% card with sign-on bonus combination. Alternatively, get Citi Costco card for 2% back and 4% on gasoline and 2% more back if you have executive membership. These combinations of cards probably give one more flexibility and a better reward structure overall.

Interest in this for groceries, no fee 5% but wish it was Chase

Same here. It should be AA, Discover, Capital One, chase etc. Citibank customer service is horrible.
