  • 300,000 Citi Rewards Points when you spend $7,500 on eligible purchases within 60 days from approval.
  • Points redeemable for $1,500 in gift cards, $1,150 profit after annual fee. (According to rwrds)
  • $20,000 minimum credit limit, $100,000 maximum.

Extra Perks:

  • 4th Night Free: Enjoy your 4th night free when you stay four consecutive nights at a huge range of hotels.

    Anyone knows how long Rewards Points are valid in the account after cancelling the card? I basically want to wait until there's a Velocity transfer bonus; gonna miss the current round unfortunately.

    • gadgetguy on 24/10/2022 - 14:43

      They are lost when you close. Here's an extract from my closure notice letter, after I closed a Rewards card:

      As disclosed at the time of your account closure request, any reward Points that were not redeemed have now been forfeited.

      I had zero points on this card, so not an issue for me.

      • BuyLowLetsGo on 24/10/2022 - 17:07

        Thanks. Can confirm after calling them.

        I called to also ask if the rewards points can be transferred/maintained if i opened another citi rewards points card of a different tier (e.g. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/725401), and they said yes it would.

        That'll probably be strategy to wait out bonus velocity as this deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/725401 is fee free for the first year and isn't excluded from holding the Prestige as far as the T/Cs go.

          Just another point, they remove access to the closed card immediately too both in the app and online, so you can't see any remaining balance, statements etc. Bit annoying.

  • buckerooni on 24/10/2022 - 16:00

    does anyone know if you can set these up as 'business' credit cards - having the liability go to the business, not the individual? ANZ do a Black for Business, I'd like the citi prestige equivalent of that setup!

    Update: citi only offer corporate cards to customers with existing private banking arrangements, so not suitable for small business :/ ANZ Black for Business it is :/

    …that PayAll feature was going to be amazing, oh well…

  • thekensai on 26/10/2022 - 16:46

    looks like they removed the annual fee rebate option of 200 points for $1 in rewards. now there are only two fixed option at the rate of 400 points for $1

          I applied Tuesday and just called now to ask if there's anythign else I need to do. The agent just verified my income and employment status and got approved 10 mins after the call

        Crazy how different it is for people. My application has taken two weeks and four phone calls to try to resolve. Today I finally uploaded my documents for the third time and was told that they'll do it now and have an outcome today or tomorrow. It's been a pretty abysmal process.

    Yay, finally got an SMS said my application has been approved. This time they took longer than normal to approve my application. I guess the decision team were debated whether to approve for a guy just cancelled his other Rewards card and immediately apply for a higher tier card.

    Anyone managed to add the card to Apple wallet without the physical card? I was able to do this previously with the lowly Rewards card - added to wallet on the same day when i got the approval email.

    With this card, I'm getting the error "contact your bank". Not sure due to a high credit amount that Citibank blocked it from activate digitally.

    Basically said I was just looking for a card with better features/rewards, approval email came 10mins after the conversation!

  • tanksinatra on 01/11/2022 - 17:07

    Geeze that 3.4% international transaction fee makes the card a lot less appealing.

    unlike reward which lets you to add card to apple wallet, this won't let you until you receive the physical card. Also, don't immediately put 20k on payall as soon as you get it as citi's fraud team may think it being fraudulent and block your account. This happened to me on my reward so i had to call them to unblock. put on some ordinary purchases like groceries or utils then put payall.

  • xdigger on 04/11/2022 - 10:38

    Hi fellow Ozbargainers, I just got this card and was originally intending to churn the 300,000 Rewards Points and then close to get a pro-rata fee refund of the $350, but am wondering whether its worthwhile keeping the card for a year if I can Payall $20k monthly? Is the $350 annual fee worth the Rewards Points I can get from Payall-ing $20k monthly? Might do a few flights to make use of Priority Pass lounges and that's about it. Thanks.

    • twistedbow on 04/11/2022 - 15:55
      +2

      i am not sure if the annual fee can be pro-rata refunded, never heard citi do it. If they don't then keep it as close to 12 months and yes do 20k payall per month to maximize points. I think cashback and pay-with-points has worst $/point value so either convert to airpoints or get gift cards.

      • xdigger on 04/11/2022 - 16:08

    EMAIL:
    You're on your way.

    Dear XYZ,

    Congratulations, your Citi Prestige Card application has been approved!

    To find out what happens next, and get to know the great features included with your Citi Prestige Card.

    Please read the Terms and Conditions and other important information for your credit card under the 'View the terms and conditions' section.

    T&C's: nothing relevant about what happens next.

    So all they tell you is you are approved. They don't tell you the card is being sent, how long it will take, credit limit, or any other actual next steps… Was that just me?

    • timhn on 06/11/2022 - 15:42

      My email from them started as above then a Financial Table that including all the relevant details for the account - credit limit, annual rate, interest free period etc.

      • Gumbootboy on 06/11/2022 - 18:22

        You're right about that table and credit limit, I wasn't actually too concerned about that as I wanted the minimum. But nothing in that table was particularly useful to me in comparison to them actually telling me if they are sending me a card. Or what details need to use in the app (linked at the very bottom of the email - missed that originally too) to check my transactions once I have it. Or how I could add it to google pay or apple pay and start using it now before it arrives. Etc.

  • BellaWii on 07/11/2022 - 20:03

    Trying to understand PayAll as I'm new to Citi. I have setup a PayAll payment of $40 to re-imburse a friend for dinner and it says I will receive 40 points. Isn't this too easy? What's stopping me paying him $1000 and he paying back the $1000 and both of us getting 1000 points?

    Are people able to pay Council and water rates using PayAll? These invoices don't have bank account details on them. Is there a trick?

    • littlesoldier on 13/11/2022 - 00:45

    Hey peeps who've used this for ATO payments via Payall.

    Question: I've schedule a Payall payment a day earlier than the ATO due date. Just wondering if this one day lead time is enough to process and hit the ATO to have an "Effective date" before or on the ATO due date? Can't make it any earlier due to the 7-day advance setup time for Payall unfortunately.

    Any experiences about how long Payall payments need to get fully processed? Thanks!

    • Robot16 on 08/11/2022 - 09:07
      +1

      I am unsure as I have only scheduled my first.

      If your payment to the ATO is a day or two late you shoudoky receive a penalty or interest payment due. If so, it would be cancelled as it would be so minimal. From my experience from many years ago..

      • BuyLowLetsGo on 08/11/2022 - 09:23

        Basically set up an installment payment plan, and it would only allow me a 8 day lead from ATO. Citi requires a minimum of 7 day payment lead for Payall.

        Called Citi and they sounded pretty clueless about the processing time on their end -_-

        Just gonna wing it, unless someone has some input about it taking longer. Thanks again.
