I finally received the dreaded letter that so many others have in the past that Citi is changing the terms of my rewards. Starting July 14th, 2007 I will no longer recieve 5% cash back on supermarket, pharmacy, and gas purchases. Instead I’ll get a measly 2% back on those three categories plus 2% back on utilities and cable. I guess it’s time to throw this card into the sock drawer and look for another 5% gas card.
