How to Make the Most of Your Citi Cashback Card

Everybody likes receiving rewards and money for purchases they planned to make anyway, which is why Citi cashback credit cards remain so popular. Before signing up for a cashback credit card, however, you should understand the type of cashback rewards it offers, and whether the card in question provides enough benefits to justify its use. One of the most popular Citi cashback credit cards is the Citi Double Cash Card, which allows you to earn 2% cashback on everyday purchases.

Learn more on how cashback cards work, and how DoNotPay can help you get the most of your credit card rewards, below.

What Does Cash Back on Credit Cards Mean?

Credit cards that offer cashback rewards allow you to earn a small percentage of your purchases back as cash. Many credit cards offer 1.5% or 2% on purchases, so if you spend $100 using your credit card, you can get $1.5 or $2 back as a reward. For many cards, these rewards are automatically applied, though you have to manually redeem them for gift cards or reimbursements on credit card purchases.

Many people feel understandably leery about using credit cards because getting cash back seems too good to be true. Responsible credit card use can be incredibly rewarding, especially compared to other payment methods that offer no rewards. Here are some hallmarks of responsible credit card use:

Paying your full balance every month by the due date
Not spending more on your credit card than what you can pay
Double check your credit card statements regularly

Which Citi Credit Cards Offer Cash Back?

Citi offers four credit cards that specifically offer cashback as rewards. Here is a handy table that outlines which types of cashback rewards you can get:

Citi Custom Cash Card	Earn 5% cashback on purchases within specific categories
	Earn 1% cashback on all other purchases
Citi Double Cash Card	Earn 2% cashback on your purchases
	Earn 1% when you buy and 1% more when you pay
Costco Anywhere Visa Credit Card by Citi	Get 4% cashback on purchases from Costco stores
	3% cashback on eligible restaurant and travel purchases, 1% on all other purchases
Costco Anywhere Visa Business Credit Card by Citi	Get 4% cashback on purchases from Costco stores
	3% cashback on eligible restaurant and travel purchases, 1% on all other purchases

All of the above are quality choices when looking for a cashback credit card, but the best option for one person or family might not yield as many benefits as a different one for a different individual or family. Carefully consider the above cards and review the fine print before committing to one.

How to Apply for a Citi Cash Back Card

Applying for a Citi cashback credit card isn't too difficult- just follow these steps:

Locate the cashback credit card options on the Citi website.
Carefully review the terms and decide which one is right for you.
Select the blue "Learn More & Apply" button on the right side of your preferred card.
Hit the blue "Apply Now" card on the right side to begin the application.
Follow the on-screen prompts, or apply by phone by calling 1-800-362-0526.
Wait to see if you are deemed eligible.
If your application is accepted, accept the offer terms and receive your card in the mail.

Try to only apply for one card at a time, as applying for multiple credit cards at once can negatively impact your credit score. If your application for your favorite choice is denied, you can try applying for another Citi cashback card with less strict terms.
