Comments on: Adios to Citi Dividend Platinum Select? http://www.pragmaticfinance.com/adios-to-citi-dividend-platinum-select/ Putting my Financial House in Order Wed, 07 Jan 2009 21:43:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Joel http://www.pragmaticfinance.com/adios-to-citi-dividend-platinum-select/#comment-1133 Joel Sat, 16 Sep 2006 04:38:22 +0000 http://www.pragmaticfinance.com/adios-to-citi-dividend-platinum-select/#comment-1133 The recent changes to the cash back rewards of the Citi Dividend MasterCard prompted me to do some personal analysis to find the best mix of cash back cards for my spending patterns. That personal analysis inspired me to build a general-purpose tool to help anyone determine the single best card or mix of N cards that will maximize their cash back rewards. You just plug in how much you spend each month (broken out by categories for best results) and you're presented with a list of recommended cards sorted from best to worst by your expected annual reward. If having more than one card and using each card to its strengths could yield a greater total reward, then each combination of the Best N cards is presented as well.
