     Customers earn Extra Cash based on 10% of the eligible purchases made
 with their participating credit card. Extra Cash translates into savings of
 up to 40% on merchandise (many items also include free shipping) at the
 Extra Cash website: extracash.citi.com or extracash.universalcard.com.
 
     Citi Cards offering the free Extra Cash from Citi benefit include
 Platinum Select, Diamond Preferred and AT&T Universal Platinum cards.

 extra benefits. Cardmembers with eligible cards are automatically enrolled.
 There are no applications to fill out, no fee and no change to their APR.
 All they do is use their Citi Card as they normally do. It's that simple.
 
     Extra Cash savings add up quickly. Every time cardmembers use their
 Citi Card, they earn Extra Cash based on 10% of their eligible purchase.
 There's no waiting to build up big balances to get savings. Plus, every
 customer will receive 100 bonus dollars in Extra Cash upon enrollment to
 help them start saving right away.
 
     Here's how it works. If you spend $100 on your eligible Citi card, you
 earn 10 dollars in Extra Cash to use toward savings on a wide range of
 items at Extra Cash from Citi's online mall. You can use your Extra Cash
 toward valuable savings on brand names like Macy's, InterContinental
