By now most of you are probably cramming for finals and packing up your dorm rooms to head home for winter break. Winter break is great time to catch up with old high school friends over dinner, head out to see all of the holiday release movies and maybe even take a trip or two. However, after all that holiday shopping who can afford to do anything fun? Well, remember all of those rewards points you got for charging presents to your Citi card? It is time to cash them in and do something for yourself!

Instead of spending every last penny you have saved to entertain yourself over winter break, get creative and take a look at all of the things you can do with your Citi reward points.  With a Citi credit card not only are you able to build your credit history and stay prepared in emergency situations, but Citi gives back to you too!  They offer you one point for every dollar you spend with your Citi Credit Card throughout the entire year!
Here are some of the ways you can cash in and have some fun this winter:

Go out to dinner with friends: For about 3,500 points you can get gift certificates to Chili’s Grill & Bar, Hard Rock Café, Legal Sea Foods and Olive Garden.

Go to a movie: For 3,500 points you can get a gift certificate to Fandango; the nation’s largest movie ticketing service.

Take a trip: If you have a lot of points in the bank you can cash them in for flights, hotel stays and even theme park tickets! 16,700 points will get you a 1 Day/2 Park ticket to Universal Studios!

Are these not the coolest rewards ever? I bet now you are happy you got a Citi card in time to build up points over the holiday season.  Don’t have a Citi card yet? Well, there is a way for you to build up points quickly and take advantage of your own reward points! The Citi mtvU Platinum Select Visa Card for College Students and the Citi Forward Card for College Students are offering new college student cardmembers the opportunity to earn up to an additional 3,600 bonus points just for paying your bill on time and staying under your credit limit. (Offer expires January 15, 2010)

Let’s face it; mom loved the cashmere sweater you got her for Christmas and dad loved his new iPod (even though he doesn’t know how to use it), but don’t you think it is time to do something for yourself? You have worked hard all semester, so this winter break reward yourself!
