Citi Forward Card: 5 ThankYou Points Per $1 Spent on Books, Movies, Music, Restaurants
Today Citi announced a new credit card created in partnership with MySpace, called the Citi Forward. It features a few incentives to consumers for managing their credit wisely, including lowering the purchase interest rate by 0.25% when cardmembers make a purchase, stay under their credit line and pay on time 3 months in a row. In addition, you’ll earn 100 ThankYou Points each billing period for paying on time and staying under the credit line.
Citi customers with a Citi mtvU Visa will also note the Citi Forward’s uncanny resemblance. Similar to the mtvU card, the Forward earns 5 ThankYou Points for every $1 spent on restaurants, books, music and movies. More importantly, the Citi Forward does not require that you be a student in order to apply.
Other noteworthy benefits of the Citi Forward include:
- 6,000 bonus ThankYou points after spending $250 in 3 months
- 2,500 bonus ThankYou points when you sign up for paperless statements within 3 months
- 0% APR on purchases afor 7 months and 0% APR on balance transfers for 12 months (though balance transfers do incur a 4% uncapped fee with a $5 min)
- No annual fee

Citi Forward for College Students
Citi bank cards have a wide range of choices. The Citi Forward does have a fairly good bonus program including 6,000 bonus thankyou points but that is only after you spend $50 in 3 months (which should not be very hard), 5,000 bonus Thank you points when you sign up for paperless statements within 3 months – meaning that you allow yourself only to have the bill either emailed to you directly monthly or viewed at the website, 0% APR on both purchases and balance transfers for 6 months but the catch- balance transfers get a 3% fee, No annual fee
Citi and AT&T Universal are thieves. Their interest is charged daily. You can never pay off your bill because by the time you get your bill with the balance you have incur’ed additional finance charges. Never again will I do business with either of them. If you dispute your charges they charge you $30.00 late fees while your in dispute.
