    They also have a 70000 QFF points promo

  • theoscat on 08/12/2023 - 16:10

    does it mean I'll
    keep a total of $1000 in that account for two months
    then I'll get $500 JB GC, minus the $99 fee?

    " a debit balance for up to 2 months" - what does it mean though?

      You can check the comments here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/798039. Same type of offer.

      There will be interest accrued at a rate of 8.9% p.a.

      Debit balance means outstanding balance that you need to pay off.

      After reading the comments on the previous offer, this is not a credit card. It is a personal loan. You borrow $1000 and transfer it to another one of your other bank accounts. I am not sure how to best avoid the interest fees. Can I pay the $1000 back immediately?

      • Tiggrrrrr on 08/12/2023 - 19:08

        Pay back $999.
        Pay interest on $1.

  • overlook on 08/12/2023 - 16:19

    How does this work? Can I apply then pay of the account straight away?

        Does that mean you can get this bonus if you used the previous ones?

      maintain a debit balance for up to 2 months.

      • gungirlyuna on 17/12/2023 - 20:05

        Even if its just 1 cent

  • Jackass3D on 08/12/2023 - 21:45

    Do you have to keep the line of credit open for 5 years? Does it effect your credit rating and borrowing capacity?

  • prisonmike on 09/12/2023 - 08:13

    The $500 jb hifi deal makes sense as it attract lesser establishment fee of $99 + interest accrued on the balance you transfer.

  • videoman on 09/12/2023 - 13:45

    I thought NAB bought out citi's accounts in Australia?

    • timhn on 10/12/2023 - 11:09

      They did but it's business as usual until NAB decided what to do with each product. They have integrated Citibank's saving and transaction accounts to NAB recently.

  • a1234my on 13/12/2023 - 08:20

    Stuff up the form submission. Will they call back ? Or just automated?

    Can get the ff points and this jb deal stack?

  • The Hobo on 13/12/2023 - 17:00

    So take out $1000 loan, pay off $900 (just to be safe) - then hold for 2 months, receive $500GC and then pay off remaining $100?

    Should cost $99 establishment fee, plus ~$1.50 in interest over the two months for the $100?

    • spiderbite88 on 15/12/2023 - 11:21

      I am planning to pay off $999 and keep $1 for 2 months. Would I still be eligible for the JB voucher?

      • timhn on 15/12/2023 - 12:30

        People reported from previous deals that there is a minimum amount must repay each month. If your balance is below that limit then you are practically paid off the loan. So no bonus if paid off too early.

        • spiderbite88 on 15/12/2023 - 13:18

          Good to know thanks

        • spiderbite88 on 29/12/2023 - 15:14

          How do I actually pay it off? I've transfered $1000, now I am trying to transfer $900 back. I can't see an option to open a debit acount.

  • Miket75 on 13/12/2023 - 17:20

    Anyone else tried to sign up to the JB offer and then when you get to the part of requesting transfer amount the minimum you can request is $5000?

    • asc on 13/12/2023 - 17:25

      That's no good!! I thought 1000 is minimum.

    • me1stt on 13/12/2023 - 18:35

      Are you sure the $5000 is not minimum limit? I applied for the flybuys offer and $5000 was the minimum limit.

      I didn’t request the transfer during application tho.

  • asc on 13/12/2023 - 20:45

    5000 ready credit but 1000 BT. Works for me

    • spiderbite88 on 18/12/2023 - 12:21

      Is minimum $5000 or $1000? I would prefer take out $1000

  • a1234my on 19/12/2023 - 08:53

    Will this hurts credit score - how badly compare to creditcard?

    • timhn on 19/12/2023 - 09:44

      It's a loan so just like credit card check.

    • spiderbite88 on 30/12/2023 - 17:32

      I've made a $1000 balance transfer to a savings account with another bank. Is that eligible? Or must I transfer to a credit card account with another bank?

  • Jackass3D on 21/12/2023 - 18:44

    How do you pay it back to the account? BPAY?

    • asc on 21/12/2023 - 20:11

      Good question. As the monthly statement has not arrived, I managed to payback by transferring to existing citi transaction n transfer from this to lending account.

      • spiderbite88 on 30/12/2023 - 15:42

        Can you explain how you did this? I am trying to pay back before the first statement

    • Thenephilium on 22/12/2023 - 18:20

      I had the same question. I tried paying with Bpay, but the ref# could not be accepted. Did you find a way to pay prior to the first statement?

      • spiderbite88 on 30/12/2023 - 16:15

        The rep on the phone said to pay using BPAY with this biller code:
        Biller Code: 49528
        Account reference: (your account number)

        • Thenephilium on 04/01/2024 - 12:42

          Did that work for you? When I tried it didn't accept it?

            @Thenephilium: Yep took 3 days but yes funds arrived in the Citibank account

            • Thenephilium on 04/01/2024 - 14:14

              @spiderbite88: @spiderbite88 Thanks - I had assumed the credit card number was account number. The number listed in my Citi account worked however :)
