Citi is making tax season a little more rewarding thanks to a $20 statement credit for TurboTax. The new, limited-time promotion seeks to help alleviate any stress around accounting for planned (or unplanned) changes to finances because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Save Up to $20 On Tax Prep with Citi ThankYou Rewards

The coronavirus has added an extra layer of stress to tax season – already a period of worry for millions of Americans. The pandemic has altered personal finances in many unforeseen ways, meaning the 2021 tax season will likely be one of the most confusing on record for filers.

Citi is seeking to help alleviate those concerns by offering statement credits for ThankYou Rewards cardmembers. Eligible Citi ThankYou Rewards cardholders can now save up to $20 on their tax preparation software with TurboTax through the April 15th tax deadline.

In addition, eligible cardmembers (including those with a Citi Prestige® Card, Citi Premier® Card and Citi Rewards+® Card) who opt to pay for TurboTax with PayPal will also have the option to redeem ThankYou Points when checking out to pay for all or part of their purchase.

  • Cash Back: Cash back applies to cash rewards, statement credits, and mortgage and student loan payments for Citi loans.

Citi’s Response to the Coronavirus Pandemic

Over the last year, Citi has been evolving its ThankYou Rewards program to reflect the ever-changing needs of consumers in the current landscape, including introducing an option to Shop with Points at the Pump in October of 2020. This exciting new offer provides another avenue for customers to redeem points where, and when, it matters most.
