Uber and UberEats - What category spending?
I've always used my Amex because it was earning 2x MR on Uber transactions, but that ended. My Costco card is 3% on 'travel and restaurants', does anyone know how Uber & UberEats are coded by Citibank? If it's going to be 'general spending' I would keep using my Amex, but if it's a bonus category I'll swap. I could always try, it won't hurt, but I'm curious.

Has anyone actually gotten a rebate certificate so far in 2018? Online it says you should be getting it "soon" after your February statement closes, and if you are enrolled in paperless statement you should be getting it via email. Feb statement closed a few weeks ago, not sure when to expect it, nothing so far.

I got an online one on my personal card and a mailed one on my business card. I thought I had both cards set for e-statements but am not sure.

I received mine via e-mail on February 23rd. Have already taken it into a Costco and redeemed it at the customer service counter.

I got my credit card cashback certificate, but not 2% cashback check for the executive membership. Is Costco late on sending 2% cashback checks this year?

I've got both of them. I think the executive membership rebate check came in the mail in late December or early January.

FYI - I recently received notice that this card now has a new feature - n
foreign exchange fees! So now, when paying obscene amounts for gasoline at European gas stations I'll be getting 4% cash back.

There was a sign at my local warehouse this past weekend advertising a change to 0% FTF! A Google search found that a few of the credit card blogs picked up on this.
I already love this card for 3% restaurant and 3% travel cash back, plus its $5000/person trip insurance included. I miss Amex in principle, but Citi really bends over backwards for Costco and its members.

For the Credit Card cash rewards - a certificate was emailed to me last month on the day the Feb statement closed. They are no longer mailing them if you are signed up to receive electronic statements. I printed it out and took it to Costco and got my cash. They told me that they would have also accepted it on my phone - i.e. read the bar code from the email off of my phone. They check your ID and if for some reason the cash rewards check is lost, you can request a new one online and they will void the old one. Each version has an issue number associated with it.
