Citibank has announced it will shut down all Sunoco Rewards Credit Card accounts. This closure process is scheduled to be completed by October 31, 2026.
Why it matters
The change affects all current Sunoco Rewards Credit Card holders who will lose access to their credit lines. Sunoco is currently in the process of seeking a new credit card issuer to replace the program.
Citibank issued notification that all Sunoco Rewards Credit Card accounts will reach a final closure date of October 31, 2026. Citi remains responsible for servicing these accounts until all existing credit balances are paid in full.
The players

Citibank is a major multinational financial services corporation that provides credit card processing and banking services.
Sunoco

Market Dynamics
This move mirrors the trend of major financial institutions recalibrating their co-branded credit card portfolios in a tightening consumer credit environment. It highlights the shifting strategic priorities of legacy banks as they move away from certain retail partnerships.
Cardholders should monitor their mail for official notices from Citibank regarding the status of their accounts and final billing statements. Users will need to arrange for alternative payment methods as their existing credit access is phased out leading up to the October 2026 deadline.
The takeaway
Customers should prioritize paying down their Sunoco card balances before the closure date to avoid complications with credit reporting. Users who rely on this card for fuel discounts should explore alternative reward programs well ahead of the program termination.
