Instead, this has been replaced by the <a href=\"\/\/www.askmrcreditcard.com\/citidividendplatinumselectcard.html\">Citi&#038;#174 Dividend Platinum Select&#038;#174 Card<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/img1.ncsreporting.com\/1ecd8782-5540-4126-81aa-acb75f72cb44.gif?120410&#038;101\" width=\"110\" height=\"70\" align=\"left\" alt=\"Citi CashReturns\u00ae Card\" border=\"0\">The Citi CashReturns&#174; Card is the latest line up of Citi&#8217;s cash back credit card and has a great shopping portal (where you can earn extra rebates) and it also offers a very generous 0% APR* balance transfer deal. Let&#8217;s find out more about this card.<\/p>\n<p><b>Rebate Formula<\/b> &#8211; Well, unlike the Citi Dividend Card, the Citi Cash Returns Card offers 1% rebates for every dollar that you spend on the card. You can earn unlimited rebates that do not expire. Once you have earned $50, Citi will send you a check automatically. You will also earn rebates from cash advances and convenience checks. Given the interest charged on these, I suggest you avoid this trap. You will also earn 5 citidollars (as they call their rewards) for every $1,500 in balance transfers!<\/p>\n<p>As an incentive, new cardholders earn 2% rebates on every purchases for six months. <\/p>\n<p><b>Citi Bonus Cash Center<\/b> &#8211; Citi has a feature called the &#8220;Citi Bonus Cash Center&#8221;, which has partnerships with about 400 merchant partners. The program allows you to earn extra cash rebates if you use the Citi Cash Returns Card to shop either off-line, online, through catalogs or  gift cards with these merchant partners. (see screen shots below)<\/p>\n<p><b>Fees<\/b> &#8211; The Citi Cash Returns MasterCard has no annual fee. New cardholders get a 0% APR balance transfer for <b>18, 12 or 7 months<\/b>. <\/p>\n<p><b>Verdict<\/b> &#8211; The Citi CashReturns&#174; Card is a great card for various reasons. Firstly, they have a very good shopping portal where you can get discounts when you shop with their merchant partners (both online or offline). Secondly, if you are looking to do a balance transfer, this card offers a <b>0% APR* on balance transfers for up to 18, 12 or 7 months<\/b>. I also like the fact that they send you a $50 check once you have earned that rebate (for those of us who are forgetful!). <\/p>\n<p><center><b>Citi Bonus Cash Center Online Merchant
