Driver's Edge (Citibank)

Pros: $$ back on any car, online access
Cons: Need to charge a lot, Citibank changes programs

Save up to $1500 on any new or used car in the next 3 years! Does this sound like a great deal? Well it is – as long as you understand the program and read the fine print.
The Citibank Drivers edge certainly offers a great deal, but it does...

Pros: Great interest rate, friendly and helpful customer service.
Cons: They don't pay my bill?! (None!)

I have had a Citibank credit card since 1996. I originally had a Citibank Visa which allowed you to earn money towards a new Ford vehicle. However, about a year ago, Citibank changed their program to cover ALL makes and models of cars. The card is now...

Pros: Reward percentages sound attractive. Balance transfers smooth.
Cons: Rewards only pay for labor, not parts or tax. Customer service.

Given the ever rising gas prices, I applied for this credit card during a promotional period in 2007 which offered: 5% rewards on gas purchases, 3% on grocery purchases, and 1% on other purchases. Plus a special $0.01 for every mile that you drive! ...

Pros: Drive rebates are unique
Cons: Rebate redemption has finicky rules

I don't recall the exact year when I got this card; perhaps it was around 2003 or 2004. The appeal was that it earned a 3% rebate on certain purchases ( supermarkets and drug stores? ) for a short period ( was either three, six, or twelve months ) after ...

Pros: Good service, interesting benefit
Cons: Large late fee, interest can take big hike

I've had a Citibank card since college, and the Ford/Citibank card before they cancelled the program. The Driver's Edge card replaced that card.

Citibank in general is pretty courteous in their service, and my credit line is pretty generous,...

Pros: 1-2% back, excellent customer service, low APR, no annual fee
Cons: Nasty rate hikes if you don't follow their rules

I have been through several different credit cards in my attempt to find the perfect 3. This is one that will stay in my wallet.

There are several reasons why:
1) To begin with you receive 1-2% (depending on your program) back towards a...

Pros: No Annual Fee, 2% Back, Can buy or lease new or used car from someone or a dealer, Citibank fraud system
Cons: Limited to $500 per 12 month period, interest rate if not paid in full every month

This is the best credit card out there for someone who gets a NEW or USED car every two or three years. That's right new or used. Even bought or leased.

Call Citibank and ask to become a charter member (no annual fee that way). If you pay...

Pros: great rewards; Citibank card
Cons: if you go for high reward and don't buy/lease in time, rebate is forfeited

I have recently switched from Citibank Platinum Classic card to the Platinum Driver's Edge (there is also a Select Driver's Edge). It still has all the wonderful Citibank card benefits, including no annual fee, reasonable rates, PhotoCard (your picture...

Pros: Good Value, Ease of use
Cons: None

Like several other reviewer's of this specific topic I also was originally a Ford Citibank cardholder who was transferred into the Driver's Edge Program. For those of you who do not know already this is a rebate program that accrues at the rate of 2%...

Pros: high credit limit, customer service, no annual fee, cash back
Cons: moderately high APR, cash advance charges

I have had this card for almost two years now--I got it my Junior year in college. As a college student credit card companies always bombard you with credit card offers. During my Junior year I decided I would get one for several reasons:
1) I...

Pros: Free rebates if you pay your bills; Rebates apply to close family members
Cons: Citibank likes to hawk their wares for added profit

I've held a Citibank Driver's Edge card since 1993, when it was sponsored by Ford Motor Company. In its original form, Citibank's card accrued rebates equal to 5% of your purchases. If you use your credit card as a substitute for cash (that's me!), you...

Pros: superb customer service
Cons: none

As far as I know, this credit card is not available on the open market yet. The only people who have it are those that used to have the Ford Citibank card and chose to convert to the Driver Edge when it was offered a few years ago. The card gives a 2%...

Pros: Low Rate
Cons: Nasty customer service, slow payment processing, & possible late fees & rate hikes

I was a Citibank credit card holder for over 3 years and had 3 of their credit cards - Driver's Edge, AA Advantage & UPromise. During this time, my balances varied but I always paid at least the minimum amount due, if not a bit more. Several times, I...

Pros: Good rewards benefits & generally good customer service
Cons: Deceptive marketing

I've been a Drivers Edge cardholder for over 5 years since Citibank absorbed the old Ford program. I've recently had a bad experience which made me pretty ticked off. I came to this site to write a negative review. After reviewing the other comments,...

Pros: They give you money back just for driving! Free money!!!
Cons: Poor customer service.

The single best thing about this card: If you're enrolled in the drive rebates program, they reimburse you $.01 for every mile you drive. You simply fill out an original enrollment form, and then update your mileage periodically by sending in a car ...
