Citi AT&T Access Card (free version)
https://www.citi.com/credit-cards/cr...-cards&afc=15F
Does anyone have this card? I do a lot of shopping online, so I would love to have a card that gets 2points per dollar. How successful have you been in using the card -- does it catch that these purchases are made on websites? Do you have to go through a Citi website portal (like old TYP) to get the 2 points? (or can I log in through my airline frequent miles website and get miles plus the 2 points).
Thanks!

Retail websites are websites that sell goods directly to the consumer through an online website and include department store websites, specialty store websites, warehouse store websites and boutique websites. Travel websites are websites that allow you to book travel and include online travel agencies, hotel websites and airline websites.

This one hurts. New terms on the ATT card. I'm sure this is for the More card as well.
- Effective July 22, 2017, you'll only receive 1 point, not 2 points, for every $1 spent online on the purchase of or reloading of prepaid and gift cards, or on rental and real estate payments. Please note, you'll still earn 2 points on every $1 spent on purchases made online at eligible retail and travel websites, including department and warehouse websites, online travel agencies and airline websites.

So it will only be 2x for plastiq mortgage payments moving forward? (instead of 3x as it is now)

this is the updated terms for the Access card, not the Acess More. It's probably safe to assume all 3x on the more will be 1x as well. Guess we have to wait a couple months to find out.

I don't understand why Plastiq was reporting rent/mortgage payments as "travel".

For CSR, it is bc it is coded as travel.
For ATT AM, i think it is bc plastiq is considered a online retail website.
Or did i misunderstand?

It's not just because of Plastiq. For example tax payments through Plastiq did not count as 3x for me as "utilities." This is stated in the terms as well, but just an example of how not all Plastiq is 3x
