No, the Citi Simplicity Card does not offer cash back. The Citi Simplicity Card does not give any rewards on purchases. Instead, it offers introductory interest rates of 0% for 12 months on purchases and 0% for 21 months on balance transfers, with a 5% (min $5) balance transfer fee. This card’s regular APR is 14.74% - 24.74% (V). There’s also a $0 annual fee.

Respond to a mail offer: If you've been lucky enough to have been pre-selected for a mail offer, you can respond to it on Citi's website by providing your invitation code and last name. Pre-qualified offers don't guarantee approval. But you have good chances of approval as long as nothing negative has been added to your credit report.

Check your credit report: If you haven't checked your report in a while, do that as well to make sure you're informed before your application affects your credit score through a hard inquiry. You can get your credit report and check your score for free right here on WalletHub.

Update Financial Profile: Citi looks at your credit report, plus your annual income and monthly housing payment. If you are currently registered for online access, you can can update this info on Citi's website, under Profile and Income Information. Otherwise, you can call Citi Customer Service at (800) 325-2865.

If you don't think you'll qualify for Citi Simplicity Card, a card with shorter introductory rates will probably be easier to get.
