If you've got a Citi Mastercard and a Caesars Rewards getaway on the calendar, there's a fresh card-linked offer worth a look. Spend at least $250 in one go at a Caesars Rewards destination and you'll get a $25 statement credit. That's a straight 10% back on the first $250, which isn't bad for a hotel stay you were probably going to book anyway. But like most of these offers, the fine print matters, so let's walk through how to actually make it work.
The $25 back, in plain terms
The mechanics are simple: add the offer to your eligible Citi Mastercard, then use that same card to pay for a Caesars stay that totals at least $250 in one transaction. The $25 comes back as a statement credit. The offer runs through November 30, 2026, so there's a decent window to plan around.
One thing that trips people up: it has to be a single purchase of $250 or more. You can't split the stay across two transactions and hope they add up. The good news is that taxes and fees count toward the threshold, and so should anything you charge to your room—meals, parking, that sort of thing—since those get billed to the folio at checkout.
- Add the offer to your card before you book or pay.
- Use the same enrolled card at check-out.
- The $250 can include taxes, fees, and room charges like dining or parking.
- Only one statement credit per card member.
Where the 'no stacking' rule gets fuzzy
The terms say this offer can't be combined with other offers, but in practice that depends on what you're trying to stack. Splitting your stay across multiple cards is a common workaround—pay part of the bill with one enrolled Citi card and the rest with another card that has its own Caesars offer. That way you're not really stacking on a single transaction; you're just using different cards for different portions.
Shopping portals are another angle. If you click through a portal to Caesars.com before booking, you can often earn extra rewards on top of the card-linked offer. That's generally separate from the Citi Offer itself, so it tends to play nicely.
What likely won't work is pairing this with a SimplyMiles card-linked offer. Those used to stack with Citi Offers, but that door closed a couple of years ago. So if you were eyeing the SimplyMiles deal for 1,160 AAdvantage miles plus 1,160 Loyalty Points on $250 spend, don't count on getting both.
- Splitting payment across multiple cards can let you use more than one offer.
- Shopping portal clicks usually stack fine with card-linked offers.
- SimplyMiles and Citi Offers no longer stack—pick one.
Booking details that matter
You have to book directly through Caesars.com. Third-party sites like Expedia or Hotels.com won't trigger the offer. And the payment needs to happen at check-out, so prepaid rates that charge you at booking might not qualify depending on how they're processed.
Also keep in mind the offer is technically valid on the room rate during the offer period. Charges you add to your room should count toward the $250 threshold, but it's worth double-checking your folio before you settle up, especially if you're close to the line.
- Book on Caesars.com—not a third-party site.
- Pay at check-out with the enrolled card.
- Review your room charges before checkout to confirm you've hit $250.
Is it worth the effort?
Ten percent back on a hotel stay is a solid return, especially if you were already planning to stay at a Caesars property. The main hoops are adding the offer first, booking direct, and making sure your single transaction clears $250. If your stay is shorter or cheaper, you might need to prepay or add incidentals to get there—just don't spend more than you would have otherwise just to chase $25.
If you have multiple Citi Mastercards, check each one for the offer. Since the limit is one credit per card member, you can't double up on the same card, but splitting a larger bill across two enrolled cards could net you $50 total. That's a nicer chunk of change for a few extra minutes of planning.
- Check all your Citi Mastercards for the offer.
- Don't inflate your stay just to hit the threshold.
- Splitting a big bill across two cards can double the credit.
Bottom Line
- Get $25 back after spending $250+ in one transaction at a Caesars Rewards property in the US.
- Offer expires November 30, 2026, and requires a U.S.-issued Citi Mastercard.
- Book directly on Caesars.com and pay at check-out with your enrolled card.
- Taxes, fees, and room charges count toward the $250 threshold.
- You can't stack with SimplyMiles, but splitting payment across cards or using a shopping portal may still work.
Common Questions
Can I use this offer on a prepaid rate?
The terms specify payment at check-out using your enrolled card, so prepaid rates charged at booking may not qualify. It's safest to choose a pay-at-checkout rate.
What if my stay is under $250?
You won't get the credit unless a single transaction hits $250. You could add room charges like meals or parking to reach the threshold, but only if you were going to spend that anyway.
Does the $25 credit count toward the $250 spend?
No, the $25 is a statement credit you receive after meeting the spend requirement. It doesn't reduce the amount you need to spend.
Can I use the offer at any Caesars property?
It's valid at Caesars Rewards Destinations in the US. Check the offer terms in your Citi account for any specific exclusions.
