If you go into the branch the offer is $300 check out your local branch
limited to only $500 spend per billing cycle which equates to $25 cash back per month...

nice, but limited to such a small amount.

Got a flyer in mail today saying I am pre selected for $300, not sure if it's ymmv
Your mail flyer offer is probably the same as the branch offer which is open to everyone to apply for the credit card via branch banker which is how I got my $300 bonus.

Not sure if someone's mentioned it but this card is only good if you plan to spend less than 2k a month...anything more than that in a given month you are better off getting the Citi double cash card

I tried product change from Double Cash to this but they couldn't do it.
It may vary by card, but that was what I heard others say when they pulled the plug on our Forward cards (really hated to see that one go). Nobody could get them to switch products then, either.

If memory serves, the application form was a popup page. I have a popup blocker and it asked me if I wanted to allow it. Turn off all your Chrome extensions and try again.

Why not get both. With the Custom Cash card, get 5% for $500 spent in one category and everything else with Double Cash card. You will get extra 3% back for up to $500 spent in the one category. If you plan to have only one credit card, Citi Double Cash with flat 2% or other flat 2% cards would be the way to go. See my post above. There are various combination of cards to maximize you cash back return on purchases.

So we have to go to a branch for the higher $300?

Yup, that was what I did. Took about 10 mins since I already have Citibank account. $300 after spending $1000 in 3 months. Branch banker told me that there is no way to get $300 bonus applying online. It is an in branch offer.

Got my card and now looking to buy stuff to get the $300 bonus (applied in branch so the deal is spend $1000 get $300 bonus). Does anyone know what the percentage back / spending category would be if I only want to make a single purchase of a $1,000 Costco Shop card (Costco online supports MasterCard purchases of their Shop card, for members only, then that can be used to buy anything at Costco, and members get the standard 2% back to apply to membership fees annually using the Shop card - if at checkout you present your membership card then pay with their Shop card only) with this Citi card, to gain the ultimate $300 bonus? I kinda just want to do one large purchase like that as I don't have anything else I really need to but at the moment to get the deal completed. I know I can buy the one Costco Shop card, but my real question is what percentage back on the Citi card will I receive or the purchase of that one item?

What spending category would that single purchase fall under and would it be 1%, or 3%, or 5% cash back to the Citi card?

You will get either 5% up to $500 of purchases per month in one category. Then 1% after that in the same category that exceeded $500 and 1% in all other category purchases.

In your scenario, since wholesale club is not a category, you will get 1000 points for buying Costco Shop card via their website.

I would recommend that you use the card for a category that you normally use, e.g. groceries, and spend $500 this month (for a gift card?) and then the $500 in Oct which is only a few days away to get 5000 points. If you spend all $1000 this month, you will get only 3000 points (2500 + 500).

Costco will accept master card in online payment so buy costco cash card and use it in store

What category does the purchase of a Costco Shop/Cash card fall under if I buy a $1000 card on Costco.com with this credit card? Wondering what is the percentage cash back on that one purchase (seems like it would be 1%)?

Thanks for the great tip. I think I will do it that way, $500 Costco Shop/gift card (which will be as you said 1% cash back, 500 points) this month and then $500 in groceries (too bad Costco isn't included in the grocery category, as that is where I buy most groceries) next month. I have to do it that way as I only got my card this week and there is not enough time to use it for anything besides an online purchase like this gift card. You only get 1% for anything outside their categories, like most online orders such as Amazon, Walmart, etc. I wish online store purchases or wholesale clubs were a category, but I see why they wouldn't do that. Should be 1% cash back if so for the one shop card item from Costco this month and then next month 5% back on the groceries. Then I will be all done with the spend $1000 in the first 90 days to get $300 back.
