Will Citi send you a 1099 on the double cash, when cashing out?
No

I have a Citi Dividend card (1% CB), and I got an offer to switch to the Double Cash card. Seems like a no brainer, no? It even says there is no credit bureau inquiry. What do you think? Thanks.

I PCed my TY card to the DC so you can have best of both worlds

There's another benefit of the Dividend card: it comes with an Amex (online Serve reloads). However, I actually have 2 Dividends, so I would definitely keep one (for Serve & 5%). The question is if I should PC ( :) ) the other one. Any reason not to?

I'm not understanding what you are saying about Amex my dividned card is a MasterCard, but if yours are Amex's I would keep both so you can get 2x amex twitter offers plus 2x 5%,  I assume that your limit would be 6k of 5x spend on each card.

If you only get 5x on 6k spend on both cards then it maybe worth it to change

It is MC, but there's also an Amex in the same account. Don't ask me to explain it; that's just the way it is. :)
I have enough Amex cards for offers. You're right about the 2x 5%, but I probably wouldn't maximize it, so I think I'll PC.
Thanks for the advice; you brought up good points.

You misunderstood. It's one account, with MC & Amex. I have 2 of these, one mine, and one DW's.

Now you got it! As I said, don't ask me to explain it. I opened it as a MC, and one day they sent Amex cards too.
ETA: Maybe Dan can explain this.

IINM cc rewards are never taxed when there is a spend requirement it's considered a rebate.

I have 2 cards from Citi like that. They both bill to the same account. In my situation they started as Amex and then sent me MC's. It's great for Amex offers.
