Citi Tweaks Perks for AT&T Universal Cards

Citi is in the process of rolling out changes in benefits for its AT&T co-branded credit cards. As part of these changes, the card names have also changed. The AT&T Universal Platinum Card will be renamed the AT&T Universal Savings Platinum Card and the AT&T Universal Rewards Card will be known as the AT&T Universal Savings and Rewards Card.

Both cards will now offer 10% savings for the first 12 months and 5% thereafter on eligible AT&T products and services equal to the amount spent on their other purchases. The savings will appear as a billing statement credit during the billing period the purchases were made. Cardmembers can earn up to $350 in savings each calendar year.

While both cards will offer a no-fee introductory balance transfer for 12 months, the Platinum card will no longer offer a 0% intro period on purchases. Other perks such as two free directory assistance calls each month, up to 30 prepaid phone minutes each month and free mobile phone insurance, will also remain.

Full details of all changes are currently reflected at Citi’s website here and here, but are not expected to appear on http://www.universalcard.com until September 12.
