- Posted on 05 Sep 20194mpd for retail shopping, and 4mpd for all online purchases except travel. What more can you ask for? Any more they might as well give you 4mpd for all purchases. If only the cap was more than $1000/month...0 comments0
- Updated on 13 Jun 2019Had been using this citibank rewards card for many years. What I love is: 1) The 10X Rewards points on my shopping all year long; be it online or offline or overseas. It makes shopping more rewarding 2) And Citibank has an amazing range of merchandise for you to redeem using your rewards points, my favourite has always been using my reward points to get Takashimaya vouchers which has no expire date 3) Citibank is also always been very prompt and hassle free in waiving my annual fee and also late payment finance charges1 comment0

Hi Koh Peng, can you please share with me the links to use the points to redeem takashimaya voucher ? I can't seems to find it. Thanks. - Updated on 06 May 2019THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU APPLY FOR CITIBANK CREDIT card especially if you are always travel and can't keep track on the date. Secondly, there isn't many perks. The customer service is based in Manila which take at least 15 minutes waiting time to speak to someone and line is absolutely lousy. NONE A SINGLE ISSUE will be resolved even if you speak to them. Go for UOB & AMEX for overseas and daily used! HIGHLY RECOMMEND UOB & AMEX!!!! Not even worth 1 star0 comments0

1 Citi ThankYou point is 0.4 KrisFlyer miles. You will need to redeem a minimum of 25,000 ThankYou points at one time, and each time you do there is a $25 transfer fee. You will transfer points via the Citi ThankYou portal ( https://www.citirewards.com/cms/sites/globalrewards-sg-eng/index.page ). Login and look for the relevant airline under Travel-- Points Transfer. You'll see the transfer rates and applicable fees. More information on how to check your Citi points balance can be found here- https://milelion.com/2019/07/18/how-to-check-credit-card-points-breakdowns/

This sounds like a very late reply now but based on the categories you mentioned, I would choose Citi. The $5 block for UOB will make calculations a little bit tricky so I would avoid that. For Grab, these 2 cards don't give points. Citi is a hit and miss so it depends. Better miles card for your mentioned categories: Grab: Maybank Horizon Visa and AMEX Krisflyer card Dining Out: Maybank Horizon Visa.

Hi, I guess you are referring to credit cards for EZ-link transactions? There's Citi SMRT card, Stardard Chartered unlimited cashback credit card and DBS live fresh card that comes with rebates and EZ-reload. Hope that helps.

Hi Melissa. 400000 Citi Rewards points convert to 160K KF miles. As a one-way saver award is already 95K miles, you only have enough points to redeem a one way. If that's ok with you, then you can consider booking a SQ J on a one way. Next, you'll want to consider whether you prefer to fly direct on SQ 32 or have a stopover in HKG on SQ 1. The key difference would be the cabin product (A350 vs B777) plus the fact that a stopover allows you to take a break and freshen up. Then you'll have to search for award space and pray that it is available. Get on the waitlist and hope it clears. The alternative is to transfer your Citi reward points to other FFPs. Asia Miles/Etihad come to mind, but you will have to check the award availability and cost of the redemption and do your numbers to see which is worth. Asia Miles could be a good option as you'll get to try the Cathay lounges in HKG, which I hear are very good. Cathay also has good service and a decent cabin product from what I read. Good luck with your redemption!

Personally, I'll stick with Citi.. UOB's rewards structure is in blocks of S$5 spent. Whereas citi's as I recall is for every dollar. You'll also vomit blood getting fee waivers from UOB.

If your spending on CC is huge, converting to miles is typically what people do if they have intention of getting a biz flight or first class. You can refer to other articles write up on the calculation. For economy class the ratio is not that worthwhile comparing to biz/1st class. In summary, yes, converting CC points to miles is good only: 1) High spending on CC ($xxxx per month) 2) Redeeming Biz or First class. my 2 cents.

I just want to highlight the bonus points about citibank rewards because these two cards offer similar rewards for shopping. From now till 31 July 2018, CR gives 8mpd for Apple Pay transaction. No cap. From now till 8 July 2018 Shop at Lazada and earn 8 miles for every S$1 spent On top of that, they offer Up to 10% Citi Rebate at over 300 locations, including Starbucks, Subway and Sheng Siong. So you are practically getting 2 times rewards. If you are a LiveUp member, you get 8% rebate instead of 5%. Though the above mentioned promotion has validity till July, if you need to apply the card now, grab the opportunity.
