Key Features
descriptionEditor Analysis:
- This is the only credit card that automatically rounds up to the nearest 10 points on every purchase - with no cap.
- You earn 2X ThankYou® Points at supermarkets and gas stations for the first $6,000 per year and then 1X point thereafter. Plus, earn 1X ThankYou® Point on all other purchases. Plus, as a special offer, earn a total of 5 ThankYou® Points per $1 spent on hotel, car rentals and attractions booked on CitiTravel.com through December 31, 2025.
- Enjoy 0% introductory APR on balance transfers for 15 months from the date of first transfer (must be made in the first four months) and on purchases from the date of account opening; after that your standard APR will be RegAPR based on your creditworthiness.
- The points you earn (20,000 bonus points after you spend $1,500 in purchases with your card within three months of account opening) are nice, but it's not a huge bonus.
CardName benefits
In the crowded and competitive world of rewards credit cards, it helps to offer something unique to set yourself apart. CitiBank has achieved just that with its CardName. Citi is a CardRatings advertiser.
While many of the card’s features might already be familiar to some, two are sure to capture the attention of consumers. The first is its Points Round Up feature, as part of its ThankYou® Points rewards program.
In a nutshell, CardName gives points in increments of 10. The ThankYou program awards two points for every dollar spent at supermarkets and gas stations (up to $6,000 in purchases each year) and one point for every dollar spent on all other eligible purchases. However, CardName provides an attractive bonus by rounding up points on every purchase to the next highest 10. For example, buy a $3 cup of coffee and get 10 points instead of three. Spend $41 at the supermarket and get 90 points instead of 82.
CardName offers another unique feature by giving you a 10% "rebate" on the first 100,000 ThankYou® Points you redeem each year. In other words, if you redeem 30,000 points, CardName will put 3,000 points back into your ThankYou account.
Points can be redeemed in a number of ways, including for travel, gift cards and merchandise.
CardName has a AnnualFees annual fee. It also offers a decent bonus of 20,000 ThankYou® Points when you make at least $1,500 in qualifying purchases over the first three months you have the card. Plus, as a special offer, earn a total of 5 ThankYou® Points per $1 spent on hotel, car rentals and attractions booked on CitiTravel.com through December 31, 2025.
There is also an introductory APR of 0% on balance transfers for 15 months from the date of first transfer (must be made in the first four months) and on purchases from the date of account opening. After that, the APR is RegAPR, depending on credit worthiness (transfers must be made within the first four months: balance transfer fee applies: BalanceTransferFees)
Potential downsides of the CardName
The welcome offer of 20,000 bonus points isn’t eye-popping, though it is easily attainable by making just $1,500 in qualifying purchases over the first three months you have the card.
Even with the "Rounding Up" program, the top tier of two points for every dollar spent at supermarkets and gas stations isn’t as enticing as programs offered by other rewards cards. You should also be aware that there is a cap of $6,000 per year on the two points you can earn through spending at supermarkets and gas stations. After $6,000, it’s one point earned per dollar spent.
One drawback on points redemption is that there are a limited number of travel partners that will accept the transfer of ThankYou® Points on a 1:1 basis compared to other Citi Rewards cards.

If you are a modest spender, the CardName would be an excellent rewards card to add to your wallet. With no annual fee, there is no minimum spending to make the card pay dividends, and plus, the $1,500 threshold is easy to reach for the 20,000 bonus points.
This could be a good card for a person making frequent everyday purchases at grocery stores, convenience stores, gas stations, etc. The more individual purchases you make, the more bonus points you can rack up thanks to the "Rounding Up" program. Every purchase gets rounded up, no matter how small or large, which can really add up over time.

Our Methodology
Survey methodology: CardRatings commissioned Op4G in September 2023 to conduct surveys among 1,869 cardholders nationwide. CardRatings website analytics from Jan. 1, 2023-Aug. 31, 2023 were used to determine a selection of the most popular cards and additional cards were included to add survey breadth. Responses to each of nine questions were given on a scale of 1-10 and respondents’ scores were then averaged under broad topics. To determine the overall score, responses from questions 1-8 were summed and the answer to "How likely are you to recommend this card to a friend, coworker or family member?" was double weighted. Current Scores reflect scores from the most recent survey (2023); “Past Scores” reflect scores from the 2022 survey.
