There are tons of rumors out there about Citi discontinuing it’s Citi Dividend rewards or scaling them back. I haven’t received any letters yet from Citi about my card.
I decided to take preventive measures and apply for the Chase Cash Plus Rewards Mastercard which also offers 5% cash back on gas, pharmacies, and supermarket purchases in case Citi does scale back or end the Citi Dividend run. 5% cashback on gas is a must have. Although I probably don’t drive as much anymore. Gas is one of my biggest expenses.
You also get 5000 points after your first purchase which is the equivalent of $50 cash back. So even if Citi didn’t end their card, I get $50 for grabbing this card.
I applied and was instantly approved. So I guess your changes are great. 
Link to offer here. As usual with these type of promos it takes 6-8 weeks to recieve your bonus after your first purchase. Generally I think they purposefully “forget” to credit you so if I don’t get my bonus in two months of my first purchase, they’ll be hearing from me everyday until I do. I suggest the same for you.
