What about the cash back? What do you use thats better at Costco/gas/etc
There are other cards that give just as much back. But you could also just use the citi card just for costco strictly. I'm thinking of getting the chase sapphire card or back to amex.

I loved them when they were with AMEX but they did not suck ever since they switched. It's been better since they introduced the 2 year extended + 2 year additional. Extended warranty was only 1 year on Amex. Plus, this switch was like back in 2016!

In addition:
Amex was 3% on gas, Visa is 4%. Travel 2% ->3%. Costco spending 1% -> 2%.

Actually, everything was better on the switch. The only thing that was maybe a downgrade was losing that American Express customer service and reliability.

Yes, losing this benefit does suck, but having selective colored memory is...
what I liked about amex is their car rental insurance is primary, rather than secondary.

Totally forgot about that. That's probably the biggest perk IMO that was lost. For a free card to have primary rental card insurance was huge

Isn't all other purchases only 1.75%?

3% cash back in the category of your choice: gas, online shopping, dining, travel, drug stores, or home improvement/furnishings Learn morecash back categories
2% cash back at grocery stores and wholesale clubs
1% cash back on all other purchases
Multiply all by 1.75 for plat honors:
Gas 3% -> 5.25%
Costco 2% -> 3.5%
All others 1% -> 1.75%

This card was sh*t to begin with...Citi is sneaky..... It wont show how many % cash back you received for each transaction. It only shows it by spending category at the end of the statement. There are many transactions where i should've received 3% for Travel but i only received 1% but i cant exactly tell which transaction/s
Probably the only reason why i will continue to keep this card is for 4% cashback on Gas
I believe you can click on the category on the website and it will show you what charges were under that category.

It works for me. On the main page of your bill, scroll to the bottom and click where it says "Your Spending for November 2022" and click View Summary a little bit lower. Click the category and scroll down. I see a line by line item showing which charge for this month is in which catergory.

It would still be hard to beat the low gas price plus 4% cash back. I am using the Chase Amazon Visa for filling gas at Costco this quarter though due to the 10% cash back.
thats pretty good cashback on gas, wonder if there are any cc's that offer 10% cashback year round

Yeah but this only shows the transactions under each Category and for not necessarily how much cash back earned for each transaction. There is like 3 or 4 different categories that relate to Travel, how would i know if they all are earning 3%?
I only use this card for 3% back for Travel. In my previous statement among the Travel cashback earned there is $1 cashback on $100 transaction(s) (1% back) and I'm not able to pin point which transactions those are that didnt qualify for travel
