We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

Targeted: $50 Statement Credit on Certain Citi Cards

  • Million Mile Secrets

    • Signing up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Here’s our full advertising policy: How we make money.

    Update:   One or more card offers in this post are no longer available.  Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers. 

    Some folks have received an offer to earn a $50 statement credit for adding an authorized user and spending a certain amount with cards like the Citi Prestige Card, Citi ThankYou Premier Card, and Citi / AAdvantage Platinum Select World Elite Mastercard, by March 31, 2017.

    The minimum spending requirement to qualify for the deal varies, so check your email to see if you’ve been targeted!
    Were You Targeted to Earn a $50 Statement Credit From Citi?

    If you’ve been targeted, I’ll help you decide whether this offer makes sense for you.

    Earn a Statement Credit With Certain Citi Cards

    With this targeted offer from Citi, you can earn a $50 statement credit for adding an authorized user and spending either $2,000 or $3,000 by March 31, 2017.

    Cards that are part of the offer include:

    That’s a large spending requirement for such a small bonus.  So it probably won’t make sense for most folks, unless you’ve been considering adding an authorized user to your Citi Prestige card.

    The Deal Is Sweeter for Citi Prestige Cardholders

    Adding an authorized user to your Citi Prestige normally costs $50.  

    But with this deal, Citi is NOT charging an authorized user fee to Citi Prestige cardholders!  I’ve confirmed this with Citi by phone and secure message.

    Citi Prestige Authorized Users Normally Cost $50, but They Get Their Own Priority Pass Select Membership. With This Deal, Authorized Users Are Free!

    So if you add an authorized user to your Citi Prestige card and meet the minimum spending requirements for the deal, not only would you get a $50 statement credit, but you’d save an additional $50 off the normal cost of adding an authorized user.

    That said, the only real benefit to adding an authorized user to your Citi Prestige card is that they get their own Priority Pass Select lounge access.  Authorized users do NOT get perks like the yearly $250 credit for airfare and baggage fees or $100 Global Entry credit.

    However, any spending the authorized user makes with their card will count toward the $2,000 or $3,000 requirement to trigger the bonus.

    Just be sure to add someone you trust, because you’re ultimately responsible for any charges they make.

    Bottom Line

    Some folks can receive a $50 statement credit for adding an authorized user and spending a certain amount with cards like the Citi Prestige, Citi ThankYou Premier, and Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select, by March 31, 2017.

    The minimum spending requirement to qualify for the deal varies.  Check your email to see if you’ve been targeted.

    This offer probably will NOT make sense for most folks.  Unless you want to add an authorized user to your Citi Prestige card.  Because they’re waiving the normal $50 authorized user fee with this deal.
