In the event that the cashback earned for the month is less than Rs 500, the remaining cashback will be carried over to the next month’s statement until a minimum of Rs 500 is earned and the cashback is fully credited. Your credit will be processed only in multiples of Rs 500. On redemption, the cashback would be automatically adjusted from the accumulated cashback in your card account.

Customers are requested to kindly wait for at least 2 days before requesting a status update on their credit card application as it may take that much time for the Application Reference Number to reflect in the system.
Follow the given steps to track your Citi Cashback Credit Card online application status:
An ‘In-progress’ status may require you to wait for a few more days, an ‘On-hold’ status may require further documentation or information from you and a ‘Disapproved’ status may be because your application does not meet Citibank’s eligibility criteria.
The credit limit depends on your income, credit score, and repayment capabilities. Higher the income, credit score, and repayment ability, higher will be the credit limit and vice-versa. Your credit limit utilization must not exceed 30%-40% as it could lead to high chances of default and consequently may lead to lower credit score.
