CitiCards ripped us off on a 0% balance transfer. After asking reps several times the rules for maintaining the 0%, they still managed to charge interest and give explanations that are beyond us. We are long term Citi consumers and are about to end our relationship.

Chase has a card very similar to the Citi Dividend Platinum Select Mastercard called the Chase Cash Plus Rewards Visa (thought I actually have a mastercard version… I dunno how that happened). As far as I can tell, it’s the exact same as the Citi card with two differences. One, there is no limit to the rewards amount per year (like Citi’s $300 limit). Two, you get your rewards in increments of $50 instead of $20 (I think) for Citi. The no limit is obviously better, the larger cash increment is worse since it takes you longer to get to your rewards. Some people may have an opinion on mastercard versus visa too. Anyway, just thought I’d throw it out there.

I don’t know if your appeal will work because the card says “supermarket” and Walmart, despite looking like a supermarket, might be classified as something else. But… it doesn’t hurt to try and see what they say.

Hey Jim,
I have the Citi Dividend Platinum Select Mastercard card too. It says 5% cashback for supermarket and I almost always do grocery at Walmart SUPERCENTER. Does not SUPERCENTER stores counter as supermarkets. I never got tthose purchases recorded at 5% but usual 1%. Can I appeal or the card issuer is right?
Thanks
