Issuer Rules & Restrictions

Shutdown Risk Triggers
Returned payments, account inactivity, suspicious purchase patterns, abuse of rewards or financing program, excessive use of promotional financing in ways that suggest gaming
Cliff Effect Rules
The My Best Buy card program consists of two tiers — the open-loop Visa (with a potential annual fee based on creditworthiness) and the store-only Credit Card (no Visa acceptance); there is no documented cliff between these tiers and other Citi Retail Services co-branded cards. Cardholders who receive the store-only card are not permanently locked into that tier and may be upgraded to the Visa tier over time as creditworthiness improves.
International Friendly
This card works well for international travel and transactions.
Additional Issuer Rules
The My Best Buy Credit Card welcome offer (10% back in rewards on first-day Best Buy purchases) is available to new cardmembers only and is earned automatically on purchases made on the day of approval — there is no separate spend requirement, but the 10% applies only on the first day and is applied as My Best Buy reward points. Citibank Retail Services does not publish a specific card velocity rule, but community data indicates Citi may decline applicants who have recently opened multiple Citi Retail Services accounts in a short period. Applicants are automatically considered for both the My Best Buy® Visa® Card (open-loop, accepted everywhere Visa is accepted with no foreign transaction fees) and the store-only My Best Buy® Credit Card in a single application, with the tier — and potentially an annual fee — determined by creditworthiness.
