A few preventative measures you can take:
- Treat your debit and credit cards like cash and always keep them in a safe place
- Keep your PIN a secret and do not share it with anyone
- Memorize your PIN and never write it on your card, store it with your card, or let someone else enter it for you
- For added security, Citadel encourages debit card users to sign for safety and choose “credit” as their preferred transaction method when asked “debit or credit” at the check-out counter, eliminating any possibility of someone obtaining your PIN as you enter it
- Do not disclose your PIN over the telephone, email or Internet; no one needs to know your PIN, not even your financial institution
- Report a lost or stolen card immediately to reduce the chance that it will be used improperly and limit your potential liability for unauthorized transactions
- Review your account statements monthly and report any errors (including transactions you believe may be unauthorized) right away
With Citadel’s Cash Rewards Credit Card, you will earn 1.5% cash back for every $1 spent on purchases. Earn even more cash back with your Citadel Cash Rewards Mastercard when you shop at our Cash Back Mall. Easily redeem a specific amount or all of your available cash back at once.
The easiest way to check your rewards points is to log in to Online or Mobile Banking, select the account you would like to view points on, click on the ‘Card Services’ tab and click redeem.
Your Cash Rewards credit card will automatically be linked to your Ultimate Growth Checking Account as long as they are both on the same unique account number. All of your accounts with Citadel will be visible to you in Online & Mobile Banking. Depending on your tier, you'll automatically earn an extra boost to the cash back you receive on purchases made with your Cash Rewards Mastercard®.
