I'm hoping this community might be able to help answer this question.. I'm considering getting a Citi Anywhere costco card, and am particularly drawn to the extended two year warranty that is often referenced on this site.

The problem however, it seems the Citi has completely stopped advertising this benefit. It's quite unclear if it's still a benefit for new cardmembers. I called Citi, and one rep said that it was discontinued late last year, and is only available on the business version of the card.
I then talked to a Costco Citi card rep who confirmed it is still available.

Anyone know what the latest is on this?

Thanks!

I have never used it so I can't comment on what is covered and I have had my account for awhile, but

Right I've seen that too. But if you just go to the main page for the Citi card the benefit is not mentioned.

AFAIK this is still a benefit but have never needed to use it.

Is this info not obtainable by simply calling the Citi card CS?

Talked to Citi card about the extended warrantee benefit last week. Wanted to make sure the purchase of a new hot tub wouldn't be excluded from the extended warrantee benefit for some reason. They affirmed it would be covered for an additional 2 years. I decided to go with my Citi card even though it only would give me 1 percent which is $192 instead of my 2 percent credit card which would have given me $384. This is because the extended warrantee of two years from 5 years to a seven year warrantee of a hot 19k hot tub is worth 1 percent ($192) to me. I have used the Citi extended warrantee before and they have worked flawlessly. The hardest part is remembering you have extra warrantee coverage provided by your purchase.

Your name is mistervalue and you blew 19k for a hot tub? What a waste.
