Sorry not sure what to tell ya. I was just trying to help. Maybe contact their support and see what guidance they give.

Thanks for your help. Appreciate it. Chase displays this very conveniently, you can click any transaction and UR points earned will show right there. Even for transactions posted today

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
This is so annoying. I hate this card for this reason and the fact that you get your rewards once a year.

thats pretty good cashback on gas, wonder if there are any cc's that offer 10% cashback year round
I don't think so. There are gift cards for gas stations that one may get with 10% off or cash back, but their gas price would be at least 10% higher than Costco.

At least the $1.50 hot dog + soda is safe.

Bank of America Customized Cash with Platinum Rewards is 3.5% back on Costco, grocery, and other wholesale clubs, 5.25% on gas, 2.62% on all other purchases vs Costco Card 2% and 4%.
If one has an average daily balance over the course of 3 month of $50k+, is that right?

It was the ONLY reason I got the card. Well, in the filing cabinet it goes.
I concur. Time to see what else is out there.

Here you go:

To enroll in the Preferred Rewards program you must have an active, eligible personal checking account with Bank of America® and maintain the balance required for one of the balance tiers in your combined qualifying Bank of America deposit accounts (such as checking, savings, certificate of deposit) and/or your Merrill investment accounts (such as Cash Management Accounts, 529 Plans). You can satisfy the combined balance requirement for enrollment with either:

1) a three-month combined average daily balance in your qualifying deposit and investment accounts or
2) a current combined balance, provided that you enroll at the time you open your first eligible personal checking account and satisfy the balance requirement at the end of at least one day within 30 days of opening that account.

You must have a qualifying balance of at least:

$20,000 for the Gold tier
$50,000 for the Platinum tier
$100,000 for the Platinum Honors tier
$1,000,000 for the Diamond tier
$10,000,000 for the Diamond Honors tier

Can I still keep the card and be gold star member and not executive member? Do the other perks still apply or no? If not, do I have to cancel the credit card thereby taking a hit on my credit score?
Thanks!

Not much reason to use the card then
How about 4% back on gas or 3% back for restaurants? Those two would not need a warranty. Smilie

But Costco only takes visa. So if I still have a good spend there, isn't it still the best choice?

If I purchased a tv with the card to get the extra 2 year warranty, what happens if I cancel the card?

Ever since costco switched to visa, the card benefits have been shit!

Hopefully Mastercard could take over in a few years, or Amex come back.
