    What if we have had this card in the past…
    What if we have currently other citi credit card…
    Can we get cheque to self for the balance transfer?.

    Do they still offer pay to cheque for balance transfers?

    • countmein on 02/02/2021 - 18:41

      Will be a good deal and apply for sure!

    • Store Repfindercomau @ Finder on 03/02/2021 - 09:06

      Unfortunately, Citi discontinued the 'cheque to self' in October 2019.

    Its an ok offer if anyone is game enough to apply. They are notorious for not approving even if u have good credit score, good income, has employment history, no debt and didn't churn.

    • adrianhughes1998 on 02/02/2021 - 17:23

      Got approved for my Qantas card with them last year and no dramas with them. Had to ring once to get them to change to proper name to credit my FF points, but apart from that, smooth sailing.

      Have heard of plenty of bad experiences though, so I could be one of the lucky ones

    • Fancydancer on 26/05/2021 - 07:09

      Just applied and approved in a few hours, quick no fuss process

  • Unacceptable on 02/02/2021 - 17:23

    I cancelled this Citi rewards card last December after I got the rewards (75k flybuy + $100 Kmart) , I’m not sure if I’ll still be eligible.

      You should be. I cancelled mine in October and applied for the Kogan cc in January which is Citibank as well and got approved.

  • TheSnyper on 02/02/2021 - 18:08

    What if you "earn" over $35K on Centrelink (carer pension + others)? My credit score is 790.

      Found it -

      Velocity
      2.5 Citi Rewards = 1 Velocity Point

      Singapore Airlines
      Krisflyer
      3 Citi Rewards = 1 KrisFlyer Mile

      • jaygee on 03/02/2021 - 15:47

        So essentially 36,000 Velocity or 30,000 krisflyer miles. Not a great bonus offer if that's what you're after.

  • Slut on 02/02/2021 - 19:10

    Does this have price protection insurance

    • Store Repfindercomau @ Finder on 03/02/2021 - 11:11

      It has a Guaranteed Pricing Scheme, yes. Complete details can be found in the Citi PDS

      This is what's covered:

      Guaranteed Pricing Scheme
      WHAT WE COVER

      If within sixty (60) consecutive days of you charging the full purchase price of a covered item that you purchase from a physical store, to your card account:
      a) you receive a printed catalogue from a store with twenty five (25) kilometres of the store where you made your original purchase; and
      b) the catalogue advertises the covered item for a price more than seventy five dollars ($75) less than the price you charged to your card account for the covered item you purchased,

      then we will reimburse you up to the amount specified in Part C – Tables of Benefits – Guaranteed Pricing Scheme for the difference in price between the price of the covered item charged to your card account and the cheaper advertised price of the item in the printed catalogue you received, provided:
      c) the cheaper item is new, the same model number and year and produced by the same manufacturer as the covered item you purchased and charged to your card account; and
      d) the catalogue advertising the cheaper item was printed after the covered item you purchased was charged to your card account.

      And you're covered:

      Up to a maximum total limit of $500 any one covered item subject to the advertised covered item being priced at least $75 less than the covered item you purchased.

      • Slut on 03/02/2021 - 11:55

        so it has to be a printed physical catalogue from physical store purchases only?

        I received a call for verification and got approved after 2 hours. The card is already appearing in my internet banking.

        • Unacceptable on 03/02/2021 - 21:45

  • CyberMurning on 03/02/2021 - 09:23

    can we have list of "eligible purchases" please…..

    • Store Repfindercomau @ Finder on 03/02/2021 - 09:58

      Eligible purchases include most of your everyday spending: groceries, petrol, travel, retail, etc.

      Purchases that are not considering 'eligible' include (but not limited to) Cash Advances, Balance Transfers, Special Promotions, BPAY payments, purchases of foreign currency and travellers cheques, transactions made in operating a business, payments to other Citi accounts, bank fees and charges such as interest and ATM charges, transactions made using Points and government related transactions.

    • Store Repfindercomau @ Finder on 03/02/2021 - 14:16

      This offer is valid for new card customers only, meaning if you have another Citi credit card you are not eligible for the offer.

      • CyberMurning on 03/02/2021 - 14:18

        hmm thats the first….

        usually bank will say its ok as it is different product, we like our customers to have many of our products and try which are suitable
        is that the condition for this specific offer through finders, or you have double checked with citi (and that is applies in all offers that citi has) ?

        ok then i will pass

      • lilsmilingstar on 04/02/2021 - 13:46

          • CyberMurning on 26/03/2021 - 19:31

            @angilinwago: I always do below when doing this bonus new application thingies:
            1. Before apply, send secure message to citi directly ( or call to ask, confirm I am eligible)
            2. Apply if eligible
            3. When I got the card, before spending, repeat step 1.
            4. Spend asap till meet the requirements
            5. Chase up every 2 weeks
            6. Get the bonus, close cc asap

            If you get rejected it only means you don't have borrowing power anymore.

            The OP is not citi staff so I don't blame him her.

      I have Kogan and Qantas Premier, both are run by Citi. I've also opened and closed Citi Rewards CC while having the other two cards. Having said that I've applied for Suncorp CC (run by Citi) and got rejected a week ago.

      • archkesha on 05/02/2021 - 09:45

        Just tried applying and got rejected at pre-approval. My wage is way more than the requirement, I own home outright. Must be the recent closing of Citi Rewards CC.

        • archkesha on 05/02/2021 - 13:38

          I just spoke to them on the phone. Once your application for any of Citi credit cards including CCs that are handled by Citi on behalf of other providers eg Kogan, Qantas Money etc, is rejected for whatever reason, you have to wait for 3 months before applying again. Citi will reject application for any other credit product based on the original rejection.

      Yes, Citi reward Points can be exchanged for both Coles and Woolworths eGift Cards. You can see the full list of redemption options here.
      You can get $420 worth of gift cards (for 87,600 points) with the bonus points. If you meet the spend requirement of $3,000 by spending on eligible purchases, you'll have enough points for $440 worth of gift cards (91,800 points with 1,200 left over).

          Egiftcard (according to OP) : $0.0048
          Transfer to flybuys (for Coles Kmart group spending) $0.0050

    • Store Repfindercomau @ Finder on 16/02/2021 - 11:48

      No, gift cards are a cash equivalent and are considered a "cash advance" for the purpose of eligible spend. Eligible purchases exclude Cash Advances, Balance Transfers, Special Promotions, interest, fees, refunds, Chargebacks and spend on a Linked Diners Club Card.

      • victimize on 16/02/2021 - 12:03

        • timhn on 19/02/2021 - 08:59

          That's definitely eligible. Utility payments are not in the list of those "not eligible" purchases. Source: I've paid last energy bill with Citibank card from last year promo.

  • CocaKoala on 15/03/2021 - 15:54

    Citibank customer service is shit. They outsource their support to an overseas location, and nothing wrong with it per se. However, there's usually a huge delay between me saying something and the bloke on the other end hears it, and then whatever they respond with is barely F** $&G audible. This is on top of the fact that they did not honour the cash back deal I applied for, in spite of meeting all the spend criteria and what not, and the "support" team knew nothing, and claimed that my card wasn't applied under that offer (pretty sure I applied under that, I took screenshots of the page while applying, but they'd not listen).

    I won't touch this bank with a bargepole.

    • CyberMurning on 15/03/2021 - 16:00

      if you ask every member of ozb each of us will say the same about every single banks in australia. in fact, in the world.

      what i always do, once i got approved for a CC with some bonus offer, i will send msg to confirm i am eligible before spending a cent.
      if they come back no i just close it (after trying to argue and give all to proofs etc)

      • CocaKoala on 15/03/2021 - 16:04

        if you ask every member of ozb each of us will say the same about every single banks in Australia. in fact, in the world.

        This is not true at all. I am a member of this site as well, and I have never had such a terrible experience with any other bank, ever, and I have lived in different countries.

        I have never had to message a bank after applying for an offer to confirm that I'm eligible and have never been denied a cashback or another offer by another bank, ever. I mean, I applied using their website, where things are stated explicitly so I should not be expected to email them after that.

        This is my personal experience though.

            @CyberMurning: I am not sure I get your point. This deal is about citibank, and I stated the terrible experience I had with them as a warning to others. If your neighbour hates CBA, I don't know what relevance it has got here.

I closed my last Citi Rewards card with the 75K Flybuys + $100 Kmart egift card in Feb but don't want to apply again and not get the bonus.

      Don't trust anyone here make one or two quick phone call to confirm, or send secure messages

          YMMV, I'm in the boat with you, I asked and they said yes eligible. Do the secure message thing they reply in 1, 2 days

            @CyberMurning: thats good; as long as you've got it in writing you should be ok if there are any issues later.

              @gooner90: That's what I always did. Ask before applying. Then when I got my card before spending a cent I ask again. Never fail this method.

      In same boat here. I had the Citi Rewards card with the 75K Flybuys + $100 Kmart egift card and cancelled in Feb, applied and got this new card, and got the 90k rewards last week waiting for the Coles $100 card sent.
