Citibank updates Citi Rewards card earn rates to 4 miles per dollar spent on all online transactions

Published by

Travel spend and mobile wallet top-ups are excluded though. The Citi Rewards card has been a staple in my wallet for a while now given that it was a leading card in the market for some time: it offered 10x ThankYou Points, or 4 miles, per dollar spent when you shopped anywhere selling shoes, bags or clothes. This made the card almost an indispensible one, given that there’s always bound to be times that you will be buying clothes or bags for yourself, or as gifts, either locally or overseas. Also, Citibank has the widest range of partners: you can transfer your ThankYou points into programmes such as Thai Airways’ Royal Orchid Plus and even Etihad Guest programmes. Updates to the card Citibank today announced that the 10x rewards, or 4 miles per dollar spent will now be extended to all online spend as well, excluding travel-related spend and topping up of mobile wallets. What it means is that your lifestyle spend, such as booking of movie tickets online, will now be eligible for more …

Citibank increases minimum spend on Citi Prestige card to S$20,000 per quarter to redeem free limo rides

Published by

Cardholders now need to spend S$20,000 per quarter instead of S$1,500 for 2 rides. One of the best perks of the Citi Prestige will no longer be so valuable in future. The mid-tier card – which requires an annual income of S$120,000 in Singapore – has got some pretty strong benefits, including two free limousine transfers each quarter with a minimum spend of S$1,500 in foreign currency. This benefit will change from 1 April 2019, and cardholders will now need to spend a minimum of S$20,000 (local and foreign combined) each quarter to receive the same benefit. A 1333% increase on minimum spend is definitely not an enhancement (tsk tsk, Citibank), it’s definitely not the end of the world. So tell me why I should keep the card While the limo services will no longer be within reach by the bulk of the cardholders, the Citi Prestige card remains pretty competitive for its hotel travel perk. If you book four consecutive nights at the same hotel through the Citi Prestige Concierge, you will receive the last night complimentary with no black-out dates. This is a …
