How is my payment applied to my account? Citi generally applies payments in excess of the Minimum Payment Due to higher APR balances first. However, when you have a deferred interest promotion on your account that is expiring within the next 2-3 billing cycles, Citi will apply your payment first to the Minimum Payment Due and then to the expiring deferred interest promotional balance before other balances. This may allow you to pay off your deferred interest promotional balance before it expires and help you to avoid interest on the deferred interest promotional balance that might otherwise be billed to your account. Payments in excess of the Minimum Payment Due that are received before a deferred interest promotion expires are applied to the deferred interest promotional balance first in the last two billing cycles of the promotional period. If the expiration date of a deferred interest promotion is before the payment due date in the billing cycle in which the deferred interest promotion expires, excess payments received before the deferred interest promotion expires are applied to the deferred interest promotional balance first in the last three billing cycles of the promotional period.

Can I request to have my payments applied in a different manner? Citi currently allows you to reallocate payments in excess of the Minimum Payment Due if you have an active deferred interest promotional balance on your account, provided the payment has already been posted to your account. To request reallocation of a payment, please contact Customer Service at the number on the back of your card for assistance.

How do I avoid interest charges on my deferred interest promotion? If you wish to avoid interest charges on a deferred interest promotional balance, the entire outstanding promotional balance must be paid in full by the promotion's expiration date.

What is my credit card account payment address? To find the payment address for your credit card account, just log into your Citi account online, select Contact Us from the Contact Us menu at the top of the page.

What are Late Payment Warnings? Late Payment Warnings are intended to help make credit card customers more aware of payment due dates and of the implications of paying late. We are required to display these warning messages on periodic statements by the CARD Act of 2009 and the revised Truth in Lending Act.

Am I able to request a hold on my payment? Citi is unable to hold payments to be applied at a future date. Please allow 5 to 7 days for mailed payments to be received and posted to your account.

How can I pay my bill immediately? To make online payments at no charge, click the Payments menu, then click the link to add a payment account or make a payment. For an external source, you'll need your bank account number and ABA routing number to complete the process.
