I'm not 100% sure, but anything that shows up as a regular purchase should accure rewards. I've always earned miles for Citi AA purchases overseas, and don't know why the cashback or other Citi reward cards would be any different. You probably won't get 5% back on groceries/gas/drugs, though, since those stores probably won't be reported to Citi as the proper merchant categories, but the basic level rewards should accure.
