Got an email today for my oldest DC card, enrolled with email link.
Logged in to Citi and see the offer enrolled here also but it doesn't mention a specific card, wonder if it applies to all?

I found the offer on my other cards and enrolled, all but Costco were eligible.

FWIW, I got the offer for my Double Cash card (which was a PC from AAdvantage) that's mostly sat in a drawer. I'm considering an expensive purchase pretty soon-ish, so it's good timing. ^

Question: where can I confirm on Citi's website that I actually signed up for this? I checked the obvious locations (Rewards, Offers) and didn't see it even though I remember seeing something when I last logged in and accepted the offer.

I was able to load the offer on each of my 5 cards. Did not get an email (yet), but saw it under the offers section of the website after seeing stories online a couple days ago.

And my emails and the web offer says it runs from 11/24 to 11/30. Which coincides with Black Friday week and Cyber Monday.

I got the email for the offer (I had originally seen it elsewhere and activated it as previously mentioned) and was able to click on the link again to activate it. I saved the confirmation page to my computer just in case I run into any issues.
Also, here are the full T&C from the email I got, for anyone interested:

My main online purchases are with AMZN so it’s a challenge to even wonder what else I would buy online during the next week. It’s a great gesture that’s hard to appreciate when AMZN 5% is their EDLP. Be bold and make it 6% or even a true 10% deal.

I feel like any online stores that run your card immediately after checking out will be okay. The ones that save your card and charge it just before shipping, on the other hand, are a bit more questionable (though I imagine it'd be easy to argue that e.g. Amazon counts for the offer if it ever came to that).

I would recommend anyone taking advantage of this to go to the Citi AT&T Access More thread in this forum, check the wiki for a list of online merchants. Citi can use two lists, a very broad list that has led to some abuses in the past, and a list they created to remove the worst offenders, which is what the Access More card uses. If you use the list in that wiki, you should be safe for it to be counted as online. Although, it is worth noting that sometimes retailers, even if ordered online, will flag something as being from a specific store, ie Best Buy can do this.
