Updated: February 26, 2024 | Credit Card Review The Costco Anywhere Visa Card by Citi works hand in hand with Costco, helping you out with 4% cashback on gas, 3% cashback on travel and restaurants, and 2% cashback on purchases from Costco. Benefits like a no fee for foreign transactions, purchase protection, car rental insurance, and roadside assistance, help you drive and shop Costco.
- Credit: Good credit needed
- Max cards: You need to have a Costco membership. Don’t have one? Create one here
- Citi will only approve you for one personal card every 8 days, and only 2 Citi personal cards within 65 days
- Credit bureau: Citi will usually pull your Experian credit report, sometimes Equifax, and sometimes Experian and Equifax (depending on your state, search your state in our credit card database)
- If you freeze your Experian credit report you can sometimes request the reconsideration department to pull your Equifax credit report.
- Combining same-day credit inquiries: Credit inquiries for all Personal Citi cards will be combined; also, credit inquiries for all Business Citi cards will be combined. Credit inquiries for Personal and Business card applications will not be combined. Note, you cannot get approved for more than one Citi personal card within 8 days (Combining credit inquiries will only make a difference when declined for your first try and you want to try a new one)
- Application status: You can check your application status here or call 1 888 201 4523
- Reconsideration: If declined you can call 1 800 695 5171 to be reconsidered
Quickest way to get my card: Citi Costco cards that are applied for in-store will be available immediately after you get approved. Citi physical credit cards cannot be expedited and will arrive after 7-10 business days
