Free Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer (Worth $599) or Apple Watch SE (Worth $419) or $350 Cash – When You Sign-Up Citibank Credit Card (18 – 31 Aug 2021)

Your phone is ringing and you see an unknown phone number.

You hesitated about picking it up but you are curious deep inside if this could be an important call. After a few rings, you decided to pick it up.

The next thing that you are hoping is that this is not another telemarketing call or worse a scam call from someone who pretended to be a police officer or a technician who is calling you for “urgent” matters.

“Could I have just a minute or two of your time please?” – said the whisperer on the phone.

You sighed and regretted picking it up and the cycle repeats again.

I’ve gone through that myself a couple of times over the past few weeks and have declined politely for some of the calls I have received.

Gone are the days where sign-ups are being done traditionally on the call or through meet-up.

These days, consumers are smart enough to be able to view and review the different products offered by merchants and compared them relatively.

This is the main reason why banks are able to cut through so many overhead costs and use intermediaries such as Singsaver and influencers in order to promote their products. As a result, they are able to incentivize the end users a lot better than in the past and as promoters, we are rewarded with a small affiliate links when readers sign up through our links.

The Rewards: Free Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer (worth $599) or Apple Watch SE (worth $419) or $350 Cash

Let’s start with the reward first.

As an eligible new user, when you sign-up for any of the Citi Credit Card mentioned in the lists below, you will be entitled to a free gift – either Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer (worth $599) or Apple Watch SE (worth $419) or you can simply choose for a $350 cash that will be credited to you via Paynow upon meeting the minimum spending requirement.

• 

The caveat for the minimum spending requirement is a $500 within 30 days of card approval.

For existing card user of the issuing bank, you will only be entitled to $30 cash with no minimum spend.

If you’d like to read the terms and conditions in more detail, you can refer to them here.

Personally, I think they have leveled up the rewards since the recent years as I have only recalled receiving a one night staycation when I signed up for my own card a few years back.

Make sure you don’t miss out on the deals!

Citi PremierMiles Card

This is one card which I highly recommend if you are a Miles lover like myself.

Obviously, with COVID dominating the headline over the past 2 years, there has been a divided camp for cashback over miles but if you believe that travel is something that would recover over time, your miles could be put to a good use by then.

Furthermore, in case you are not aware, you’d be able to use some of your accumulated miles for other purchases such as KrisShop or Pelago – a Singapore Airlines backed venture start-up company to purchase activities.

• 

• Annual Fee Waiver
• +1.2 miles per S$1 spent locally
• +2 miles per S$1 spent in foreign currency
• +2 free airport lounge visits per year to over 1300 Priority Pass lounges worldwide
• Miles eligibility on rent, condo management fees, school fees, taxes and bills via Citi PayAll
• Up to $1million travel insurance coverage

Citi Rewards Card

This is the other cards which I highly recommend for almost all other Online Purchases that I’ve made.

Like most people who had to stay home during this pandemic period, I would frequent most online merchants when it comes to ordering for food, groceries and other things. Some of my favorite includes the likes of Grabfood, Food Panda, Lazada, Shopee, etc.

You get the most reward when you purchase online with this card because they give you 10x rewards which translates into 4 miles per S$1 spent – as compared to all other cards. These points can then be used to convert into either cash rewards or miles separately.

• 

• 10x rewards points (4 miles per S$1) spent on online spending – including fashion apparels, online groceries, food delivery, ride hailing apps and many more. The only exception is Travel booking
• 1x reward point for every S$1 spent on all other purchases, including offline
• No minimum spending
• Conversion Rates example are as follows:-
  • 25,000 points = 10,000 miles
  • 4,400 points = $10 cash rebates

Citi Cashback Card

I haven’t had to use this cashback card yet myself but this is one of the best Citi’s product on cashback card if you are into cashback rewards and not miles.

You get an upward cashback of 6% and 8% respectively for dining and grocery shopping at major outlets and 0.25% for all the other purchases.

• 

• +6% cashback on dining including restaurants, cafes, fast food eateries, and caterers
• +8% cashback on grocery shopping, both online and at major supermarkets
• Up to 20.88% savings at ESSO and Shell, inclusive of 8% cashback for petrol spending
• Up to $1million travel insurance coverage
• +0.25% cashback for all other spending
