Citi Custom Cash 5% credit card: new, better offer to earn $300 after $1000 spend available online

+112 Deal Score
89,390 Views
For those unaware, the Citi Custom Cash is a relatively new card that gives 5% back on up to $500 of spending each billing cycle in the category you spend in most (e.g. groceries, dining, gas). No having to figure out what the current quarter's bonus category is to get 5% back.

Previously the only offer available online for this card was $200 on $750 of spending in the first 3 months. You can browse that thread for more info and comments about the card. (There was a $300 offer available in Citi branches, but those are only found in major US cities.)

To find this offer, simply log in to Credit Karma and browse suggested credit card offers and you should see it. Alternatively, you can find a direct link on this reddit thread. I'm not posting the direct link itself as I'm assuming SD will mangle the URL.

So it seems like department stores are not one of their categories? I won't get 5% even if it's a local department store?
Correct. It's not 5% on "any" category. Only their listed categories.

Damn, this card looks great, but CreditKarma says my chances for approval are poor. My score is 800ish and I don't have any citi cards, but my average credit age which is about 2 years seems to be fcking me according to my credit report.

As long as you have decent income and not a bunch other new credit cards in the past year, your chances of approval are probably good.

Darn, Citi used to offer 2 year extended warranty which would have made me jump on this.

Seems only certain cards now have that perk. Hopefully they add sign up bonuses to them soon

Most Citi cards still have it. This and the DoubleCash don't.

yeah I think this and the double cash are their best cards if you want cash back at least. You have a favorite citi card that has the 2 year warranty?

Just curious, how long did it take for you guys to receive the card in the mail? Have a big dinner soon and was wondering if I'd get it in time.
