Citi today revealed the introduction of a
digital credit card featuring buttons which allow customers to
redeem rewards.
The Citi 2G Credit Card comes with two buttons
that offer customers the choice to either pay for their purchase as
usual or request a point or cash reward.
“We are excited to be the first issuer to
pilot these advanced technologies and additional choice at checkout
through the ‘next generation’ of credit cards,” said Terry O’Neil,
executive vice president of Citi’s North America credit card
division.
The card also incorporates other programmable
and electronic appliances such as a battery, an embedded chip and a
magnetic stripe.
The new rewards scheme will give customers
more flexibility and control over their credit, Citi said.
