I think it's pretty messed up of Citi to continuously offer 15% on Black Friday every year, as if that's their major doorbuster point-exchange deal, and have people cash out all of their points for that, thinking they just got an amazing deal... and then just few days later like clockwork, Citi ups it to 20% but now those people don't have any points left to get them because they already used them all up on Black Friday. I feel bad for those who saw that 15% and fell for the bait.
Lesson is to accumulate Citi points til Cyber Monday every year specifically for this promo on Apple GC's; do NOT fall for their Black Friday "deal". Citi really should instead just make it 20% for Black Friday thru Cyber Monday. Not that 15% crap.
I was waiting for the 20% like they do every year - redeemed 75k worth of points

What do you guys buy from Apple? Looking at their prices, almost everything is priced higher than the deals we can get on the same products from other places. I was looking at a MacBook Air M2 that is $899 at many places, but it's $999 through Apple Education. Air pods that are $129 vs $79 at Walmart etc.

I'm grateful for Slickdeals to be armed with this knowledge beforehand; I'll be hoarding all Citi points til Cyber Monday every year specifically for this promo on Apple GC's.

They got me first time I believe was 2021, and never again. Hold for 20% ever since.
iCloud+, Apple TV+, and other App Store purchases/subscriptions. It's not hard to go through a couple hundred $ per year just in digital spend if you're committed to the Apple ecosystem.
