I'm surprised this is not FP. From doctorofcredit: "Sweet deal for the Double Cash card which now has the flexibility of being either straight cash or ThankYou points. We may have briefly seen $200 before at launch and we've also seen $100 and $150, but typically there's no bonus on this card."

Combo this with Citi Premier and you can transfer the points to airline miles

Is that the only benefit of the card, no travel protections or extended warranty? Also has 3% foreign transaction fee.

Does it include the virtual card numbers Citi feature?

After you got approved did they provide you the CC number so you can start using the card? Thanks

I applied for Citi Double Cash last week and got this insulting $500 credit limit. This is my only Citi credit card. Considering closing this account now

No they didn't. I have to wait for the physical card to activate it in their website or app so that I can add the card to digital wallet.

This use to have a requirement of $500 spend to get $200 bonus. $1,500 is outrageous for such a small bonus.

Maybe a trick so that you can't get the bonus. You will have to fully max out your limit for 3 months if that's even possible.

I really hate these promoted CC posts, but this is really a solid credit card. Signed up years ago with no bonus offer bc it's just an easy rewards system. 2% off everything is great if you don't spend a ton (since there's no annual fee), don't want to deal with variable and dynamic rebate rates for each category of spending, especially if you don't travel. I just credit the rebate to my bill once a month. Highly recommended.

Yes to the virtual card numbers question for this particular card. Via mobile, strangely you have to do it via Chrome browser vs the Citi app.

Is there a way to track the bonus? I signed up, got the card, but I don't see anywhere on the website if the bonus is active or how much more to spend until I reach it.

Easily done every month - move all your utility, cable / streaming, car/house insurance payments to your citi card - inside of 6 months you will definitely hit 1500.
For myself, it only takes 3 months. Utilities (gas, electric, water, garbage) are ridiculous, may as well earn points/ cash back for paying them.
