Citi is making some noise with its travel portal, starting with expanding cardholder access and adding a new brand to its hotel offerings. And if you've got the Citi Double Cash® Card tucked in your wallet, Citi has some promotions just for you.
Here's a look at what's new in the Citi TravelSM Portal and a primer on the bonus rewards you can earn with the Citi Double Cash.
Get Cardholder-Exclusive Rewards With the Citi Double Cash
Through December 31, 2025, Citi is upping the ThankYou® Points you'll earn on hotels, rental cars, and attractions booked through Citi Travel when paying with your Citi Double Cash. You'll earn an additional 3X points per dollar spent on these bookings — a total of 5X. Even better, these earnings are uncapped. It'll pair nicely with the savings from the hotel discount.
There's no need to register; just log into Citi Travel here, make your reservations, and enjoy the rewards.
If you're looking to pay down debt or finance a larger purchase, this card also comes with one of the best available introductory APR offers on balance transfers.
- Earn $200 cash back after you spend $1,500 on purchases in the first 6 months of account opening. This bonus offer will be fulfilled as 20,000 ThankYou® Points, which can be redeemed for $200 cash back.
- 2% cash back on every purchase - 1% when you buy + 1% when you pay
- 0% intro APR on balance transfers for 18 months. After that, the (Variable) APR will be 18.24% - 28.24% based on your creditworthiness
- There is an intro balance transfer fee of 3% of each transfer (minimum $5) completed within the first 4 months of account opening. After that, your fee will be 5% of each transfer (minimum $5)
- No annual fee
- Earn 2% cash back on every purchase—1% when you buy and 1% when you pay. Plus, earn 5% total cash back on hotel, car rentals and attractions booked on the Citi Travel℠ portal through 12/31/25. Citi cash rewards now also convert to ThankYou points at 1:1 ($10 = 100 ThankYou points).

Expanded access to Citi Travel
Some Citi credit cards offer access to Citi Travel; some don't. And for quite some time, the Citi® Diamond Preferred® Card and Citi Simplicity® Card fell on the “don't” list.
In other words, if you have the Citi Diamond or Citi Simplicity but no other portal-eligible cards, you can now book hotels, flights, and more through Citi Travel.
You can also book premier stays through Citi Travel’s Hotel Collection. These stays include complimentary breakfast, early check-in, late checkout, and more.

Final Thoughts
Citi expanded the number of cards that have access to Citi Travel — bringing the Citi Diamond and Citi Simplicity into the fold.
And last but not least, Citi is throwing a bone to its Citi Double Cash holders. Through December 31, 2025, you can earn 5X ThankYou Points on hotels, car rentals, and attractions. And don't forget about the additional Citi Travel portal promotions for those with other credit cards.
