Citi Backward
UPDATE: NerdWallet has issued a retraction. Read below
NerdWallet reports that the Citi Forward card no longer gives 5X points for
Amazon.com purchases. Here’s an excerpt from NerdWallet’s post:
The Citi Forward gives 5 ThankYou Points per $1 spent on movies, music,
restaurants and bookstores – the last of which used to include Amazon.
However, as NerdWallet has confirmed, this is no longer the case.
This is bad news for Forward fans. However, since this card has no annual
fee and still gives 5X for several popular categories, I still think this is
a great card for spend within those categories.
UPDATE: NerdWallet has issued the following retraction:
Retraction: After hearing reports that the Citi Forward no longer gave
5x points on Amazon.com, NerdWallet contacted their customer services
representatives to find out more. While we heard from multiple CSRs that
Amazon no longer counts, our readers have told us that they still receive 5x
points. We strive to provide the best content for our readers, but we
jumped the gun on this one, and we sincerely apologize to our readers.
