Citi is offering eligibleCiti Costco Anywhere VISA Cardholders: 4% Back on Eligible Gas/Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Purchases Worldwide (for first $7,000 per year and then 1% thereafter) when you shop using this qualifying card.
Thanks to community member(s) FrancoisP59 & dirtyherry for finding this deal
Note, must use your eligible card to make your purchase to qualify.
4% cash back on eligible gas and EV charging purchases worldwide, including gas and EV charging at Costco, for the first $7,000 per year in gas and EV charging purchases and then 1% thereafter.
Certain Non-Qualifying Purchases. You will only earn 1% cash back, not 4% for gas and EV charging purchases made at superstores, supermarkets, convenience stores and warehouse clubs other than Costco or for fuel used for non-automobile purchases
This is not a deal per say but I think people can benefit knowing that the citi/Costco Visa card now provides 4% cashback on EV charging. I believe this added benefit started around July or August because I got only 1% cashback on my June charging sessions.

This is very cool, but the real slickdeal is charging at home with TOU rates
Seriously. Even for gas 5% (PFCU) isn't a huge amount. That's like $3ish a week. YEs it's $150 a year but not like it's thousands of $$$
For reference a M3LR has a 70kwh pack and 4% supercharging at $0.25/kwh (same price I pay at home ironically) would save you a whopping $0.70 for a full charge.
If that entices you to buy a Tesla..... uh.......
And that's not taking into account that the cash back is only usable if you have a costco membership (I think they let you cash it, and not just use it on purchases).

I don't know where you live, but many of the supercharging locations in NY are $0.46/kWh. I experienced this first hand while driving up to Montreal just couple of weeks ago.
I googled it.
Even if it's $0.50 and you do a FULL charge (unlikely), it's $1.40 total discount. Not exactly big money.,

If you don't care or understand how small discounts on individual, regular transactions can add up over a longer period of time, then you might not fit in here on slickdeals…
I never found TOU worth it. Especially since many people are WFH so usage tends to be consistent throughout the day, but they jack up the rates to compensate overall for the "free" nights and weekends.
I have a 5000+ mile road trip coming up and this will come in handy since Tesla has changed to off-peak and peak charging rates. Every little bit helps.
Yup… I'm on a TOU EV rate with a super off peak which is essentially $0.08 per kWh from 10pm to 5am. That combined with my Chargepoint Flex is super slick.
What's the slickest way to get set up for TOU? I assume I need some sort of charger that will only charge at certain times, or can my Audi etron do that by itself?

I haven't paid a nickel at the supercharger in 9 years.

That is why I bought a New Lexis Hybrid in 2019, and now have just over 7,000 miles on it!
