About this card
The Costco Anywhere Visa® Business Card by Citi earns an overall rating of 3.4, placing it in the 'Good' category. This assessment balances the card's excellent rewards program, particularly for gas, EV charging, restaurant, travel and Costco purchases, against its potentially high APR and the restrictive nature of its rewards redemption process. The card's value is heavily tied to a Costco membership. The strong rewards structure, especially the high cash-back rates on gas and Costco purchases, significantly boosts its appeal. The absence of an annual fee (with a Costco membership) and no foreign transaction fees further enhance its value proposition. However, the card's potential for a high APR (which depends on creditworthiness) and the inflexible rewards redemption (annual certificate usable only at Costco) are considerable drawbacks. While Citi is a major issuer, its customer service reputation has some negative feedback, which also influenced the rating. It is a card highly suited for Costco members who are business owners.
