While we all may be grounded now, it’s still a great time to earn points toward future travels.
Credit card issuers are aware that consumer spending habits have changed over the past month and thus have been offering more applicable spending incentives. For instance, TPG Executive Editorial Director Scott Mayerowitz received the following email from Citi for his Citi® / AAdvantage® Executive World Elite Mastercard®:
Other sources are reporting that they’ve received offers on multiple different Citi cards, including the Citi Rewards+® Card, Citi® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® World Elite Mastercard®, Citi® ThankYou Preferred card (no longer open to new applicants) and Citi® Dividend Platinum Select® Visa® Card (no longer open to new applicants). The information for the Citi / AAdvantage Platinum Select World Elite Mastercard has been collected independently by The Points Guy.
