Issuer Rules & Restrictions

Shutdown Risk Triggers
Manufactured spending, excessive cash advances, repeated rapid application and cancellation of cards to farm bonuses, returns of purchases used to meet minimum spend requirements, using the card for non-personal or non-household purposes, application fraud or misrepresentation
Cliff Effect Rules
The 48-month restriction is card-specific — holding or having received a bonus on the Double Cash does not block bonuses on other Citi personal cards (Custom Cash, Strata Premier, Strata Elite) and vice versa. The Double Cash is a popular product change destination from other Citi cards (including the Strata Elite and Strata Premier) when cardmembers want to avoid an annual fee; however, converting from a card on which a bonus was earned resets the 48-month clock for the Double Cash bonus specifically.
International Friendly
May have limitations for international use.
Additional Issuer Rules
The Citi Double Cash Card enforces a card-specific 48-month bonus restriction — welcome bonus ThankYou Points are not available if the applicant received a new account bonus on a Citi Double Cash account in the past 48 months, or converted another Citi card on which a bonus was earned into a Double Cash account within the past 48 months. Standard Citi velocity rules also apply: no more than one new personal card approval per 8 days and no more than two within any 65-day period. The Double Cash is commonly used as a long-term keeper card and product change destination from other Citi cards, as it carries no annual fee and earns at a strong flat rate.
