i’m with the drivers edge card going on 12 years.
thats 4 four redemtions later.four lease later.
they would send me my full amount of cash back dollars for the past 4 leases.
i would send in an application and copy of my new lease.
they would send me a full check cash back.-
——————————————-
this is the end of my 3 three years made out application sent in copy of new lease 2010.
they only sent me back half my money.
in order to get balance must make out new application
and send in each month copy of lease payments and hope to get balance .
they are holding hostage $602.14 of my cash back dollars.
they also took away my 3% give back and made it 2%.
i think you all should look into chase,freedom card
it has a basic 1% but you can get up to 5% on item each quater.
and they will give you $100 after three months and you spend $899.00. and you can cash out every $20.00 after the first two months.
why wait 3 or more years for (your cash back dollars).

I had a Citibank Drivers Edge card but I did not have the ‘Options’ card to qualify for service & mileage. Citibank CS told me my rebates would transfer over to the new card, which had the same credit card number, however the rebates did not transfer over. When I called them, the women said I was given mis-information. I lost approx 500+ rebates. She said I could transfer back but it would not be worth it. Without the ‘Options’ benefit, I could only redeem the points on the purchase of a car which I am not planning to do within the next 5 yrs. I pay the card off every month, so I will use whatever rebates I aquire, however I have a hard time trusting Citibank. When I orginally opened the account prior to 2001, I could cash out my rebates after 5 years, regardless of a car purchase, a policy which they have since amended.

There's really no additional effort aside from filling out and sending the enrollment form. I turn in service receipts to cash in my rewards anyway, and they take the mileage info from those. Might as well earn an extra one or two hundred bucks per year for virtually no extra effort. Since I can fax the receipts, I can do this without even getting up from my desk.

Seems like a lot of work to me. Factor in the cost of your time and effort and it may not be worth it.
