(Targeted) Citicards – Best Buy -$50 Cashback on $200 Purchase

When I shop online, I shop the portals to save money or to earn extra points or miles. I usually check cashbackmonitor.com to see which portal offers the best cashback (and usually choose TopCashBack as my default). I also check Amex Offers and Chase Offers on a regular basis. But, somehow I never think to check Citi Offers.

Today, I received an email from Citibank informing me of various Merchant Offers available on some of my Citi credit cards. There were a fair amount of local restaurants listed on both my Citi Double Cash and Citi Dividend cards, most offering 6% cash back.

Some merchant offers caught my interest. For example, both Expedia and Candlewood Suites offer $20 back on a $100 purchase.

This offer for Best Buy is available on both my Dividend and Double Cash cards:

You might want to check your Citi Merchant offers and see if you are targeted for this as well. Although the terms of the offer excludes Best Buy gift card purchases, in the past, with similar promotions, I’ve been able to purchase third-party gift cards, such as Apple gift cards (YMMV).

Here are the terms and details of the offer:
