PSA - Citibank Wouldn't Do a Cheque to Self for Balance Transfer

sagax on 22/05/2017 - 16:53

Hi All,

I know a lot of people are fond of Citibank's Cheque to self payment option when taking out a Balance Transfer.

I've previously done this with Citibank, however today when I tried they said they'd only do it via B-Pay to another Credit Card (yes I know you could then do cash transfer from an overpaid account).

I didn't push for cheque to self, but thought others may like to know that this mightn't be an option any more.

    Just did successfully last week. Did you try speaking with another person?

      You did? Recently? Are you new customer? And was it free interest for xx months and no BT fees?

        New customer and 1.5% one off fee with BT for 24 months @0%.

      No, I wasn't really pushing for it. It was offered as I tried to close the account.

    Many people including me on whirlpool never received such offer anymore. I am more than 8 years customer, and have got 3 or 4 times free interest balance transfers for 12/24 months with no fee in the past. And all with cheque to self.
    But never get it anymore since 2016…
