I'm sure it's been mentioned and buried but extended warranty benefit goes away next month which sucks
Uhh yeah I have an Amex, this is not true lol
I'm sure citi fought hard in the bidding process to beat Amex to get the Costco account. Part of the terms were probably to offer better benefits for the customer....

Partially be outsourcing customer service to India. AmEx keeps it all American.

AMEX has its customer service in India too; however, their standard is same globally.

Read through this thread and saw people reviewing how the Credit Limit and Balance will roll over to the new card. What about the Credit Length/History. The Costco AMEX is my highest limit card and longest history. If only the Balance transfers, and I close the AMEX, I wonder what the hit would be to my credit. Any thoughts?

Good CB, but there's no Travel Insurance and no Price Rewind:

What can you redeem the points for on the citi card? I received an invite to citi that had the get one point when you purchase and another point when you pay but, the value of the points compared to my chase card at the time were not as valuable as the chase card.



Never mind I see 1 point equals $1 dollar as a bonus check each year just as amex did.

Quote from buzzman :
The 5% is misleading. Its 5x points, but when you want to redeem the points, the value decreased. So I'd say it's more like 4% rather than 5%.

By the way, Penfed Amex has 5x on airline ticket purchases if purchased directly from an airline.

Both cards do not have foreign transaction fee and I believe both have CHIP-and-PIN capability.

Thank you for sharing this information. I like the 3% cash back on restaurants and 4% cash back on gas.

Is there another credit card without an annual fee that offers higher than 3% cash back on restaurants?

With this being managed by Citi, do others also think that we can generate virtual credit card numbers for this card?

Tofu Vic

US Bank cash+ lets you choose 5% cb on fast food. Discover is doing 5% cb on restaurants next quarter.

Quote from timhood :
If you use a different brand Visa, you will get whatever benefits that card offers, which is definitely not the same as what was stated in the OP. Depending on promotions, there may be certain occasions where using another card could be better, but overall, this is a pretty good package.

I like to use my Avery label maker to put a label on my cards to remind me which one offers which benefits (including temporary promos) so that I'm sure to use the best card for the particular purchase.

Ever use the AwardWallet app? It basically does this without the need for printing anything.
