5% pts back on restaurants with Citi Forward credit card

Citibank just released the Citi Forward credit card.

It gives 5% Thank You points (at lower redemptions that's about 3% cashback, but at $100 redemptions, you get the full 5%) for restaurants, books, music, and movies. Some people speculate that Amazon.com may still count as a bookstore.

Another bonus. If you pay off your minimum balance each month, you get 100 additional points.

Also, for signing up and buying $50 worth of stuff in the first 3 months as well as signing up for paperless billing, you'll get 11,000 pts (roughly $100 in gift cards)

Here's the site:

And there's chatter about it on fatwallet:
