Citi Premier 3x Grocery & Restaurants – Live Already Since June 2nd (Instead Of Scheduled August 23rd Launch)

Citi has announced that the planned enhancement to their Premier card went live on June 2nd instead of the scheduled launch of August 23rd.

Citi had previously announced adding 3x categories to the Premier card in the following categories:

• Supermarkets
• Restaurants (including takeout)

Previously this had been slated to go live on August 23rd, but they have now expedited these category additions in light of COVID-19. The Citi Premier signup pages are still showing the August 23rd start date, but apparently Citi sent out to various media contacts that this will go live early. Presumably cardholders will get notification of this in the coming days as well. Update: Not applying to new cardholders currently.
