    Been a week, just got a call for verification… Still waiting to see whether approved or not. Slow process is slow.

    • 1968 on 17/06/2019 - 15:25

      I thought 3 business days was long.. looks like I’ll keep waiting…

    • a4033 on 18/06/2019 - 13:02

      Very slow. My application submitted on 7th, received a call on 14th. Im still waiting…

    • alita_b_angel on 19/06/2019 - 09:39

      Ugh 2 days later still nothing, calling them again on the Verifications team number on 1800 807 138, got them to push it along to Final decision…

      fingers crossed

      • a4033 on 19/06/2019 - 11:50

        did they tell you to wait 24- 48 hours too?

            @a4033: Thanks, applied on 17th. No contact yet though, reassuring to know that it might take a while. Most cards I have in my hand 7-10 days after application…

    • alita_b_angel on 19/06/2019 - 14:25

      UGH DECLINED. What a waste of time.

      • unity1 on 19/06/2019 - 17:00

        When people say declined, is this during the application or after the submission of documentation?

  • chocfrogs456 on 18/06/2019 - 13:50

    Refused immediately following online application (and offered a worthless lesser card) despite a good credit rating and meeting all eligibility requirements. A first in years of churning. Last time I apply for a Citi card.

  • tristanmarsh on 19/06/2019 - 11:12

    It's strange the application form forces you to enter a home phone for your residential address and a mobile phone for your employer.

    • reubenb87 on 19/06/2019 - 14:30

      It's obvious they don't use the home phone, I don't have one, but they call your mobile.

  • Jen23451 on 19/06/2019 - 11:55

    I started an application and it saved. I intended to not proceed with this application. Today I got an alert from my credit report staying there was a credit enquiry for 0 from citibank. Is this normal if you did not finalise or submit the application?

    Kind of annoyed.

    • lovepub on 19/06/2019 - 15:21

      You might as well go ahead with the application since they did the credit check.

      Credit check score already lowered …cant be reversed. So try your luck applying. I got mine approved….some much more financially stronger than me got declined….so all by luck chance. Try it out.

      • lnem2 on 19/06/2019 - 18:17

        I ended up with 2 credit checks, 1 day apart. One for $0, next day one for $15k.

        Don't remember if I saved and resumed

        • timhn on 19/06/2019 - 21:46

          Strange, i only had 1 check and $0.

    • Jen23451 on 20/06/2019 - 13:59

      Update:
      I filed a complaint with Citi stating that I thought it was unreasonable. They've sent a request to have the credit enquiry removed. Will have to see how that goes..

  • rabkoa on 19/06/2019 - 12:05

    Pardon my ignorance.

    Received my card yesterday. how do you sign up for priority pass ? priority pass website said you need a invite code. didn't see one in the mail.

    Also, do you have to call them up to opt in for Qantas points ?

    • lovepub on 19/06/2019 - 14:29
      +1

      You should get it in the letter along with the card.

      I did.
      And it's a pamphlet size with a invitation code. Black coloured.

      Then u go online to activate VIP and then it will be in your account for priority pass . Seems not transferable. Hard to use it with kid travelling together. You would have to pay for them $27 each

      As most others did, give them a call to make sure you r all good for 90k Qantas points when u hit 4k spend.

      They will tell u yes or no.

      • rabkoa on 19/06/2019 - 15:12

        Hmm, nothing in my letter. Will give them a call. Thanks lovepub

              @1968: You have to call them and ask for the pass. They'll give you a link on the PriorityPass website and a code to sign up.

      • alamodey on 20/06/2019 - 12:36

        i called them and they then redirected me to a QFF team which had no idea. these guys are useless.

    Applied June 1.
    Heard nothing until received a call yesterday to get some additional details.
    Approved today.

    I thought I wouldn't get approved, like others, given my good credit history.

    • lovepub on 20/06/2019 - 20:28

      Wow…u r patient.

  • gimme on 20/06/2019 - 22:06

    I've had 2x $15K credit inquiries on my account even though I only applied for one card. The inquiries were almost 10 days apart. I contacted them and they said don't worry it will have no impact on your credit score but wouldn't tell me why there's 2 inquiries. I pushed a little and eventually they said that they will escalate to some specialist team to investigate. May or may not have any impact on my credit rating but I still don't want an inquiry that may have been done in error.

    • timhn on 21/06/2019 - 20:58
      +1

      If you have registered with CreditSavvy, you can just send the enquiry to them, they will sort it out with Citibank.

      When I applied with St George, somehow, they stuff up and created 2 applications for me, hence 2 enquiries. Raised with CreditSavvy and the extra enquiry removed after a month.

      • gimme on 21/06/2019 - 21:03

        Great thanks for the tip.

        • timhn on 21/06/2019 - 21:08

          Sorry, should be Credit Simple - not Savvy. Always got these 2 mixup.

          There is no option to raise dispute in Credit Savvy

          • gimme on 21/06/2019 - 21:13

            @timhn: Oh I just sent them an email. Let's see what they say

  • z0s0 on 21/06/2019 - 09:19

    Received the 90K points today. Plus 5K bonus which they promised me on the phone as a thanks for promptly returning their inquiries about my income status during application.

    FYI I still hold the free-for-life Citi Signature from years ago.

    Will be closing this one shortly :-)

    • Spending2Much on 21/06/2019 - 09:46

      With government spend? Offering an extra 5, for doing what we've all done anyway, during the application process is alright

        • timhn on 21/06/2019 - 21:02

    FWIW, for anyone still wondering whether they have correctly linked/applied for the QFF version of this card…

    From EVERY piece of confirmation received (apart from web chat), this card has always been referred to as "Citibank Rewards Credit Card - Signature" with zero mention of it linked to QFF. Like many of you here, I reached out and confirmed it was indeed linked to QFF & eligible for the bonus promotion.

    I have received first statement, which also refers to this card as "Citibank Rewards Credit Card - Signature", however, clearly shows QFF points & bonus points being earned = happy days!

    Posting this hoping it'll help relieve some people's ongoing concerns about the QFF linkage etc.

    • gimme on 23/06/2019 - 16:29
      +1

      Now let's try to bust the next myth whether govt spending counts towards the min spend.

      • bighorse on 25/06/2019 - 21:06
        +3

        I've spent over $4k in my first month, just over $2k of it being government charges. Once the billing cycle ends I'll see if I get the bonus points or not and I'll post up the results. I've contacted Citibank several times regarding this and, well, let's just say they're refusing to give a clear answer

      • bighorse on 06/07/2019 - 13:36

        Just received my first statement. Spent just over $5k, $2350 of which were government charges. And surprise surprise, I received the 90,000 bonus qantas points. Showing in my qantas account already

  • coolhead on 23/06/2019 - 16:40

    how many days after you complete your spend did u receive the points?

    • chew_chew on 03/07/2019 - 17:54

      I reached the criteria in the first month and to my surprise, the bonus points landed in my QFF account on the day of receiving my first statement

  • soulblaze on 24/06/2019 - 17:24

    Smashed out 5k on the first statement and got my points. Can i cancel now and get the missus to sign up for one ?!

    • gimme on 24/06/2019 - 19:28
      +1

      Why not

      • Zoltrix on 26/06/2019 - 15:28

        I thought cancelling cards too often gives you a bad credit rating?

        • gimme on 26/06/2019 - 15:33

          Not really. The number of credit inquiries on your file may have some variable impact but as long as you're closing the previous account (i.e Not just simply adding more potential debt) and not churning through 12 cards a year I wouldn't worry about it as long as you are in overall good credit standing. It's a OZB sport to do this sort of stuff and most of us seem to be able to do it without any issues. I personally go through about 2-3 /year with no impact.

          Also you and your mrs are 2 different people so I don't think one would impact the other.

          • Zoltrix on 26/06/2019 - 16:13

            @gimme: Good point, might get her to apply for a different one lol

          • Poolprouk on 26/06/2019 - 21:21

            @gimme: I can't imagine Citibank or any other credit card provider looking favorably on someone who's taken their card out, claimed bonus points and promptly cancelled. The provider will probably have made a loss on that client.

            12-18 months later when the churn and burner returns for another bonus point deal I'd say the chances of rejection would be increased……

            • gimme on 26/06/2019 - 22:16

              @Poolprouk: I've done exactly what you said with 4 banks (incl CitiBank) and approved every single time. I've also never paid any interest on a CC ever. So the bank's only $$ from me would have been merchant charges.

    Re the complimentary bottle of wine at select restaurants.. does it get credited to your card after payment or does the restaurant just give you the bottle free?
    I imagine these restaurants don’t know anything about this deal so wondering how it works…

    • Pandaboss on 28/06/2019 - 14:58

      Curious as well, I think you have to mention to them about the benefit and show them your card. most likely they would not know about it and will go up the management chain to be confirmed. I would pull out the website and show them that their restaurant is listed and you get a free bottle!

      When you ordering you ask for the citi bank wine and they should have a choice of white or red.

    • gimme on 02/07/2019 - 14:58

      Also, don't be afraid to follow-up. I would have potentially waited indefinitely had i chosen to wait for them. When I called they seem to indicate that there was some sort of 'error' with my application and essentially asked me some personal questions over the phone. Exactly what I had already provided on my application. They never contacted me (2 weeks) to verify anything until I contacted them so it may have potentially sat in limbo for who knows how long otherwise.

No government spend). They were managers also that I was speaking to. I knew they had no idea what they were talking about, couldn't even read their own terms and conditions

      • bighorse on 06/07/2019 - 13:38

        I can now also confirm government charges count towards the minimum spend. I just received my 90,000 bonus points. Spent just over $5k, $2350 of which were government charges. Qantas points showing in my account already. How funny that even the staff at Citibank have absolutely no clue. I was told countless times that they wouldn't count.

    Was a bit sceptical with all the bad reviews on Citibanks. Points received today after meeting spending requirement prior to 30 June. Fastest out of all my previous card churns!
