Specifically the first paragraph: "Your reward is distributed annually via U.S. Mail in the form of a reward coupon included in your February billing statement, and is redeemable through December 31 of the year issued in a single transaction at any U.S. Costco warehouse, including in Puerto Rico, for merchandise or cash back."
Thanks.
My AmEx month closed June 13 with a balance of $X. My Citi account showed up today with that $X amount due July 9, I think. I paid $X to Citi, and it now shows $0 due.
In other words, I had to pay Citi, and I doubt you should pay AmEx. It's worth a call/chat, but just log into your Citibank.com account first and see what it says. If it says there's an amount due, go ahead and pay Citi.

I'm writing about this from work so I don't have access to my log-in on my former AMEX account.
So I am am/was afraid that the AMEX account hadn't been zeroed out (i.e. transferred to Citi) & since I only get e-statements, I'd might have been liable to pay the amount on the AMEX account online AND the Citi balance showing now.
I guess a phone call to both is needed.
Thanks for the feedback.

Citi had said that the billing cycle would close roughly the same time as your AmEx cycle would have. So if you're unsure when your AmEx cycles would close, I'd look at the Citi cycle +-2 days.

I think you're overthinking this. Citi took over everything from AmEx. It's as if your AmEx card never existed and it was a Citi card all along.

I tried Chrome and Firefox with the same error. I'll try again tomorrow and might need to call if it won't work.

You are right - I went home & looked on the AMEX site and the Costco card no longer exists in my account. Everything is serviced by Citi now as though AMEX never existed.
Funny - we also have a Blue Card also like you.
I remarked to my wife that the Citi site tries real hard to configure itself ala the AMEX look and feel. Citi really is trying hard to win over the AMEX diehards.

hmmm, I don't see that option.
when I clicked on "ENROLL IN ALERTS" it says Due to recent system upgrades, you can now change or update your contact by signing on at citi.com.
when I clicked on the citi.com link and enroll in alerts, I get the same message again.
is it because i'm using Windows 10?
