Earning Points

- 5 points per $1 spent on hotel, car rentals, and attractions (excluding air travel) booked on the Citi Travel Portal through June 30, 2024.
- 2 points per $1 spent at supermarkets and gas stations (for the first $6,000 spent per year).

One of the unique benefits of the Rewards+ card is the ability to round up to the nearest 10 points on every purchase.
For example, you would earn the following amounts for your spending:
- $2 train ride = 10 points (1x * 2 = 2 points, rounded up to 10 points).
- $52 at a gas station = 110 points (2x * 52 = 104 points, rounded up to 110 points).
- $21 at grocery store = 50 points (2x * 21 = 42 points, rounded up to 50 points).

Rewards+ Card Benefits
The Rewards+ card lacks many of the card benefits you would expect compared with other no-annual fee cards like the Chase Freedom Flex, Chase Freedom Unlimited, or Bilt Rewards.
But the Rewards+ card offers the ability to earn extra points by maximizing the rounding up to the nearest 10 points, the 10% points rebate, and 2x points at gas stations and grocery stores.
10% Points Rebate
