## Summary

Holders of the Citi Dividend Card who activate the third-quarter bonus online will get 5% back on gas and home-improvement purchases from July 1 through September 30, 2026. The bonus is capped at $300 per year, and that entire cap can be earned this quarter.

The 5% rate does not apply until the bonus is switched on in the Citi online account. Home improvement includes hardware and lumber stores but not florists or wholesale construction. Citi is not taking new Dividend Card applications and will not allow a product change onto the card.

Activate Q3 in the Citi account and run qualifying gas and home-improvement spend through September 30, 2026, stopping at the $300 annual bonus cap.
