This is one good reason why I keep affinity cards that charge no fee, but I never use

Its states the offer pretty obviously except the $1 minimum is hidden in small print at the bottom. I guess they were hoping to trip up a few people who buy a candy bar a month.

Citibank HH Visa Card - Bonus
I got the Citibank HH Visa sometime ago since there is no annual fee and there was a bonus for 1st usage of the card. I used the card once or twice after getting it then put it away since it's not my primary card and even the HH AMEX gives you more points / $ spent.
Apparently, they noticed that I have not used the card in quite a long time, so I received a letter this week saying that for 3 months if I use the card each month I would earn 2,500 bonus points for each month for a total of 7,500 bonus points.
If this has been discussed, please feel free to close/merge. Thanks!!!

7,500 Points From citi (targeted)
It came in today's mail from Citibank.
" As a valued Hilton HHonors Visa cardmember you may earn 7,500 bonus points for staying at any of over 2,800 HiltonFamily hotels. This fall, just use your Hilton HHonors Visa Card to pay for a stay at any Hilton Family hotel from September 1 through November 30, 2006, and you'll earn 7,500 bonus points."
Looks like some pretty easy points. ^

I received an offer that gives a bonus of 2500 points per month , for the month of July, August, and September, if I charge it at least once in each month.
That's what they'll get, one very small charge each month.
Overall, I think the Citi Hilton Visa card is not as good as the Amex Hilton card, as far as the earning rates go.

Still, I like the new Marriott Premier Visa for restaurants & airline tix because IMO 2 Marriott points > 2 HHonors.
