    Anyone apply for an additional card when lodging original application?

    I requested an additional cardholder during signup and my card arrived but the other didn’t.

    I’m wondering if there usually ship together in the same envelope or separately. Hopefully the other follows tomorrow. If not I’ll contact Citi to enquire and ensure it’s coming.

      Separate envelopes. Arrived at the same time for us though.

  • me1stt on 10/06/2023 - 15:09

    Has anyone successfully requested the linked diners club card?

    • Micky14 on 10/06/2023 - 15:17

      You need to call them to request. And you also need some luck to get a right customer service agent who knows to do this.

      • me1stt on 10/06/2023 - 15:19

        Ok thanks!

    • fookos on 10/06/2023 - 15:39

      Apparently you can do it online too. From the Citi website:

      If you are an existing customer with a Citi Rewards, Citi Premier, Citi Premier Qantas, Citi Prestige or Citi Prestige Qantas Card which is in good standing, you can request a Linked Diners Club Card on Citi Online.

      If you log in to Citi Online, navigate to “Services > Card Services”. If you are eligible, you will see the option on the left navigation menu to request a Linked Diners Club Card.

      Out of interest, what’s the draw card to have Diners? I see you share credit limit and statement etc. Is there any benefit if you’re not travelling?

      Found this older article:

        I ended up calling to request the card because online was always giving me an error and they were aware of the problem. Card arrived in 4 days.

        • spiinl on 20/06/2023 - 08:50

          Did you recently applied for the Citibank Card? It says my current card is not eligible to apply for the Linked Diners card. I tried calling them and they said the same thing.

          • Micky14 on 20/06/2023 - 09:40

            @spiinl: You need to hang up call again. Their system is broken. Everyone is not eligible on the website. And their customer service is bad too. Everyone says different thing. You can get the card, but you need to get a right customer service agent first.

            • spiinl on 20/06/2023 - 10:15

              @Micky14: The CS promised to call back after finding out how to do it. Hopefully she will soon.

            • spiinl on 20/06/2023 - 11:13

              @Micky14: you are 100% correct. Got a right CS this time and card is on its way!

              Maybe should call on weekdays to get the right CS that can do it or knows the workaround.

          • ShowMeDMoney898 on 20/06/2023 - 10:18

            @spiinl: I had the same problem when I tried to apply the card before the first billing statement. Their system had a flag to prevent the application. It was probably after 2 months since I got the Prestige that I called again and was able to apply for the card.

            I remember reading somewhere that it needs to assess your account spending or something like that. I had more payall trans and other transactions within the 2 months so that must of removed the flag.

            • spiinl on 20/06/2023 - 10:34

              @ShowMeDMoney898: Thats a good point. At first she actually asked me to call back in a couple of months. Makes more sense now.

        Is this just good for using the banks in foreign countries?

    • digitalane on 26/06/2023 - 17:13

      Jokers are telling me I’m not eligible as it’s only available if requested at time of applying for card. Asked for a supervisor!

      Supervisor said the same! Can only be added at point of application

      • digitalane on 26/06/2023 - 17:55

        Tried 3 times. Same answer every time :(

        • CodeXD on 26/06/2023 - 17:57

          Did you read the comment here saying to do it after your first billing statement?

          How long have you had the card for?

          • digitalane on 26/06/2023 - 18:19

            @CodeXD: Yeah saw that. About 4 months. Weirdly they’re saying that’s the problem and I should have asked when I applied and now it’s too late!!

          • digitalane on 03/07/2023 - 12:30

            @spiinl: So they responded to my escalation with the following :

            On 26 June 2023, you called us and asked assistance on how to have a Linked Diners Club Card (LDCC) for your
            Citi Prestige credit card account ending in xxxx. We have looked into your account, and we initially advised
            you that your Citi Prestige credit card account was ineligible for LDCC. We understand that this was not
            acceptable for you. As such, you requested for this matter to be escalated.
            During our conversation with one of our Customer Service Managers, you advised us that the information you
            saw from our website was different from the initial decision provided. We advised you that we will coordinate
            with relevant department to provide appropriate solution for you.
            We have now completed a full review into the experience you have had with us which we have set out below:
            1) Your above-mentioned credit card account is eligible to submit a request for an LDCC.
            2) This process requires Digital Written Request when the request is submitted via calling Customer Service.
            3) Alternatively, you can also opt for self-service through Citi Online Banking
            - go to www.citibank.com.au
            - log in with your userID and password
            - go to Services
            - go to card services
            - go to Request a Linked Diners Club Card
            Please note that LDCC request is still subject for review and approva

            Of course when I try again it still doesn’t work! Muppets

            • spiinl on 03/07/2023 - 13:28

              @digitalane: Maybe it is my pure luck that I got thru to someone that knows the workaround. It was done on the same call.
              Not sure if it helps, the CS that got it done sounds like from Philippines call centre.

            • xdigger on 09/08/2023 - 12:10

              @digitalane: What are the benefits of the linked Diners card compared to Bankwest Zero/28Deg as a travel credit card? Presumably there's no extra credit score hits?

      • Micky14 on 27/06/2023 - 10:26

        Bugger. Tried today. Got a wrong CS said the same. In the end I just said no worries and hung up. 🤣

  • BrunoBear on 10/06/2023 - 15:14

    How long is everyone waiting for their cards? It's been 11 days and counting for me…

    • fookos on 10/06/2023 - 15:36

      Has it been 11 days since you applied online? Or 11 days since you received notification of approval and you’re still waiting on the physical card to arrive in your letterbox?

      Approval should happen within a few days of submitting application. Card should arrive within 3-5 days following that.

      Give them a phone call. Online chat won’t be able to tell you anything other than direct you to sections of their website…

      • BrunoBear on 10/06/2023 - 15:39

        11 days since they told me the card had been sent.

        • fookos on 10/06/2023 - 15:40

          Definitely should take that long - at least not to metropolitan areas.

          Give them a call. Best of luck.

          • fookos on 10/06/2023 - 16:57

            @fookos: I meant “shouldn’t take that long”

  • Craze on 18/06/2023 - 22:26

    When do you get the bonus points? I just received my first statement, already did Payall transactions to meet $10k spend but only earned 20xxx points and no signs of the 300k bonus points. Should I wait for second statement or ring up Citi to query?

    • JR63 on 18/06/2023 - 22:39

      The bonus points arrived in my account ~12-24 hours after the statement arrived.

      • Craze on 18/06/2023 - 22:49

        Thanks just logged in to check and can see the 300k points credited to my account! 😁

    So diners club can’t be added to Apple Pay?

    • 1bargain on 20/06/2023 - 13:03

      I know it might be answered somewhere but what’s the advantage of Diners over normal prestige card? What makes it worth it when u have to jump through hoops to get it?

      • spiinl on 23/06/2023 - 14:51

        I would like to know too. Seems like in terms of points, they are equal. Only difference is no international fees.
        Does points earned via Diners Club goes to the same Citi Points pool?

        • fookos on 24/06/2023 - 10:59

          From my reading, it’s main use (and maybe only) is if you’re travelling. I don’t see why you’d use it in Oz over your primary Citi card.

          Here some Q&A for you too:

          https://www.citibank.com.au/cards/dinersclub/FAQs/index.htm

          • JR63 on 24/06/2023 - 13:24

            @fookos: The other useful thing for points reasons is that it links to PayPal, so things you'd otherwise get 1 pt/$ on, you now get 2pts/$.

        • JR63 on 24/06/2023 - 13:25

          Same pool of points.

  • Fancydancer on 05/07/2023 - 20:54

    Anyone else get the offer today for a $200 JB, Coles or Myer if you convert $2500 or more using 'Quick Cash'? Just an upfront fee of .99% as long as the re payment plan is followed (6 months). So $25 fee I think - $175 profit.

    • CodeXD on 05/07/2023 - 21:03

      How did you get the offer? e.g. email / SMS?

      • Fancydancer on 05/07/2023 - 21:22

        Email this morning and on the app as a pop up

        • looks on 06/07/2023 - 17:52

          I keep getting these. I set one up at $2500. That was over a month ago. I have no idea how I can "pay" it off - does anyone know? Over a month on, it says 0/6 are repaid, yet I'm up to date on paying all due amounts based on the statement..

  • Vcmo on 06/07/2023 - 22:07

    Can’t believe I missed the offer, is it still worth it at 700 dollars and 275,000 points?

    • BrunoBear on 06/07/2023 - 22:12

      Yes, if you make good use of payall.

    • [Deactivated] on 17/07/2023 - 10:49

      Not worth it imo, unless u are a very avid traveller who really needs the “unlimited” priority pass

      Keeping Payal aside lets see what u get for $700

      275k citi points - equal to 275k/3 Krisflyer or 275k/2.5 velocity points

      which turns out to be around 110k Velocity points for $700! That’s EXPENSIVE! , or u may apply for Velocity card for around net $150 fee, and earn 120k bonus points- so u paying an additional $450 fee for 10k LESS velocity points

      Payall is wildcard , speculating it remains 0 fee for all future scheduled transactions is wishful thinking- at best case u make around 80k velocity points for $700 annual fee

      • n0mad on 17/07/2023 - 11:26

        Krisflyer is 2.5 to 1, I know St George are changing to 3 but hadn't heard Citi is following.

        • [Deactivated] on 18/07/2023 - 10:09

          as per this official link it is 3:1 https://www.citirewards.com/tygr-web/partnerProgramsListing.htm?sourceCode=GRCB&cmp=nav&lid=sub-nav|travel|points-transfer

    I got an email to call them back about my prestige card. I’m assuming it’s about the payall transactions. I’m on my 2nd month. I’m a bit hesitant to call them. Anyone on the same boat?

  • socheap on 04/08/2023 - 16:33

    What is the concensus on fee free PayAll transactions?

    Is it best to setup a recurring monthly for the next couple of years
    or do you need to put in individual payments?

    • BrunoBear on 04/08/2023 - 16:42

      It might not be fee free for much longer. So best to set it up recurring in advance while it's free.
      If you're asking the difference between individual monthly payment vs recurring, there's no difference except more work doing each one individually

      • socheap on 05/08/2023 - 14:06

        I guess I am interested in others interpretation of the fee free conditions.

        • johnmelb on 05/08/2023 - 21:32

          https://www1.citibank.com.au/offers-benefits/PayAll1

          For all Citi PayAll payments set up between 1 April 2021 to 31 October 2023 (the Period), the Citi PayAll fee will be reduced to 0%.*

          *Any recurring Citi PayAll payments set up during the Period will not incur the Citi PayAll fee for the duration in which those payments are scheduled to occur. Any recurring Citi PayAll payments set up prior or after the Period will be charged the standard Citi PayAll fee of 2% of the amount of the Citi PayAll payment. This fee will apply to all recurring payments made for the duration in which those payments are scheduled to occur.

          For me it's pretty clear, set it up during the promotion period, don't pay any fees.
          Citi T&Cs even mention recurring payments…

          • socheap on 06/08/2023 - 21:13

            @johnmelb: Thanks, that's the way I read it. There was a bit of conjecture for a while.

    • MrGarciaA on 15/08/2023 - 15:43

      The wording of the offer:

      For all Citi PayAll payments set up between 1 April 2021 to 31 October 2023 (the Period), the Citi PayAll fee will be reduced to 0%. Any recurring Citi PayAll payments set up during the Period will not incur the Citi PayAll fee for the duration in which those payments are scheduled to occur.

      So to me, the strategy that maximises your fee free Payall given that any recurring Payall can only be set up to last for 24 months from the date it is set up is to set up one-off payments up to 30 Septebmer 2023, then set up all your payments as recurring for 24 months before 31 October 2023. That way, your fee free Payall can be extended to 31 October 2025

      • spiinl on 15/08/2023 - 15:53

        You can set the PayAll to start from 2025

      • CodeXD on 15/08/2023 - 15:54

        You can actually set up Payall for future dates as well. In your example, you can create several more Payalls up to 10 years in advance.

        Payall from November 2025 to October 2027.
        Payall from November 2027 to October 2029.
        Payall from November 2031 to October 2033.

        • MrGarciaA on 15/08/2023 - 16:19

          Oh nice I did not know that thanks! Well then, I may hang on to my Prestige card for a little longer than I was anticipating to!

  • Dobby33 on 09/08/2023 - 14:54

    Has anyone managed to get Citi to waive or reduce the annual fee for this card for the second year? If so, any advice on how to achieve it? Thanks!

    • timhn on 13/08/2023 - 17:12

      Ring them and ask? But i doubt that would work anymore.

    • MrGarciaA on 17/08/2023 - 08:46

      You have to be willing to close your account down in my experience. A lot of banks have caught on to people just calling up and asking and a lot of the banks now just say no, but if you ask them to cancel your card, you'll be redirected to their customer retention team who would be far more likely to offer you some sort of retention offer which may or may not include an annual fee waiver/reduction.

  • digitalane on 17/08/2023 - 16:58

    After all the hassle, today I get an email saying they’re scrapping the Diners!

    • spiinl on 17/08/2023 - 17:01

      I got the same email. No wonder they are not keen to dish it out.

      • fookos on 17/08/2023 - 18:26

        Looks like the change is from October so technically they should continue to offer until then. It’s also proof they do it. That said, no point applying if you’re not going to keep the Prestige card beyond 12-mths. They need to reduce that annual fee.

        • digitalane on 17/08/2023 - 18:45

          I’m annoyed as I got it purely for no overseas transaction fees.

  • digitalane on 17/08/2023 - 18:47

    Hope PayAll isn’t the next thing to go!

  • spiinl on 20/08/2023 - 19:29

    Is it only me or the PayAll no longer allows you to schedule the start date more than 3 months later?

    • johnmelb on 20/08/2023 - 19:51

      I also can't go beyond start date of November 2023 anymore now.

          Cancel current one and start this month

          • CodeXD on 23/08/2023 - 09:08

            @digitalane: Have you tried this? and it works?

            I don't want to cancel as it takes 2 days to create a new one.
