The Citi Double Cash® Card no longer has extended warranty coverage. It used to offer an extra two years of warranty coverage for eligible purchases made with the Citi Double Cash® Card, up to a maximum of seven total years. As such, a two-year warranty would be extended to four years, but a six-year warranty would only be extended to seven years, since that was the maximum. Citi discontinued this benefit on Sept. 22, 2019.
For purchases made before that date, the card's previous extended warranty coverage still applies. If you made an eligible purchase with your card before Sept. 22, 2019, then you're still entitled to the Citi Double Cash® Card extended warranty coverage on it.

Extended warranty coverage can be a valuable benefit. Your purchases are protected for longer than they would be under the manufacturer's original warranty, and you don't need to pay anything extra. Although the Citi Double Cash® Card doesn't have this feature anymore, there are many credit cards that do. Here are some of the top credit cards with extended warranty coverage:
Those are just a few of the credit cards that offer extended warranty coverage. You can usually find out whether a card offers this perk by reviewing its list of features and protections.
