Citi is rolling out another round of targeted spending offers, and this one's worth a quick look at your email and online account. If you're targeted, you can earn 5 miles or points per dollar on select purchases through September 30, 2026, with no extra cost to activate.
The Offer
Citi is sending these out to select cardholders now through September 30, 2026. Offers vary by account, so check your email or log into your Citi account to see what you're eligible for. Common versions include:
- 5 AAdvantage miles per $1 (up to 2,500 miles) on purchases at consumer electronics, department, home improvement, and home furnishing stores
- 5 AAdvantage miles per $1 on eligible online purchases, excluding restaurants and AA purchases that already earn bonus miles
- 5 ThankYou Points per $1 (up to 2,500 points) at the same electronics, department, home improvement, and home furnishing categories
All offers cap at 2,500 bonus miles or points, and you'll need to activate by August 15, 2026 for the bonus to count.
How to Take Advantage
- Log into your Citi online account or check recent emails for a personalized offer.
- Confirm your specific bonus categories and cap, since targeting varies by cardholder.
- Activate before August 15, 2026, then use that card for qualifying purchases through September 30.
Why This Matters
A 2,500-point cap won't fund a business-class flight on its own, but it's essentially free upside on spending you'd likely make anyway. If you're already using a Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select or Citi Premier for everyday purchases, this stacks nicely on top of your normal earn rate. It's also a reminder that Citi is one of the more active issuers when it comes to surprise targeted offers, so it's worth checking your account periodically rather than assuming you'll get an email alert.

Bottom Line
Check your Citi account now, since these targeted offers disappear once the promotional window closes. Activate by August 15 and spend in your bonus categories before September 30 to lock in the extra miles or points. This article contains affiliate links.
