  • 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.

      Any thoughts on what might have triggered the lock?

        +1

        Needed more evidence post application even though it was already approved and I had been using it for 3 weeks, might have been triggered by too much spending as others have pointed out. Was a PITA, took over a week to get it unlocked and waiting hours on call for them to answer.

    Received my 300K points. Was very quick, came as a pleasant surprise. Now what to redeem that for?

    • ozbargain2019 on 11/01/2023 - 19:17

      Any ideas? Still can’t work out what to use it for

        I've claimed 2x$500 WoW giftcard.

  • Robot16 on 22/11/2022 - 13:28

    Is anyone keeping this for the insurance?

    • hawkeye93 on 22/11/2022 - 20:05

      Maybe keep this for Priority pass, 20k points per month when using Payall, and other benefits like the 4th night free, luxury transfer,…

      • Robot16 on 22/11/2022 - 22:19

        Thanks Hawkeye.
        Some good benefits. Am holding this plus the ANZ FF Black. Seems this is the better one to keep.

    • caustic birch on 25/11/2022 - 09:22

      The insurance looks pretty bad on this one. I saw medical cover is limited to like $150 a day?

      Edit: I'm keeping it for priority pass though

      • Robot16 on 25/11/2022 - 09:47

        Thanks mate. I will compare the westpac platinum and the ANZ Black. Can only keep one of the bigger cards.

      • Trendyoz on 26/11/2022 - 15:03

        Does priority pass expire if you close the prestige card?

  • amorphous2111 on 22/11/2022 - 22:37

    Would we get the half annual fee oof $350 refunded pro rata if we close the card now?

    • timhn on 23/11/2022 - 01:06

      Did you just only hold this for 2-3 months? You should get more than half.

      • amorphous2111 on 23/11/2022 - 07:09
        +1

        Yes but we only pay haft the annual fee in the first year, so pro rata refund should be calculated on that amount.

        • timhn on 25/11/2022 - 13:29

          3 months would be around $262.5 back
          ie. 350 - (350/12*3)

      • hamwhisperer on 28/12/2022 - 20:22

    • The Hobo on 23/11/2022 - 11:04

      Not a bad idea - worth a shot, though they may just reject your application.

    Got the points from the first statement. Does anyone know how to spend the points in the app? or does it have to be via a website

    • gadgetguy on 24/11/2022 - 15:34

      Spend is only via web, at least I've not found a way in the app.

  • Trendyoz on 26/11/2022 - 15:05

    • hawkeye93 on 26/11/2022 - 18:50
      +3

      I think redeeming FF is the best if you plan to fly every year (especially during peak season). It gives 120k KF which would be enough for 3 returned eco tickets in my case.

    • Autonomic on 02/12/2022 - 18:54
      +2

      Redeem to KF for business flights. Lots of availability. 120k is most of a 1 way business trip to Europe.

      • MrThing on 12/12/2022 - 22:37
        +1

        Kf would be the best redemption…but only if u fly within 3yrs

        If your stockpiling for kf for later (like i do), transfer to virgin first since no expiry

  • Derain on 26/11/2022 - 19:17

    anyone had their card restricted? Mine got locked after spending spree on Black Friday. Wondering if it’s easy to get it unlocked again. Gotta wait till Monday I guess but a bit annoying as having to put my purchases on another card

    • The Hobo on 28/11/2022 - 11:21

      Always been an issue with Citi and Virgin money unfortunately.

      • Derain on 28/11/2022 - 22:03

        Thanks yea called them up to sort it today. Bit annoying but what can we do.

  • A female dog on 28/11/2022 - 14:17

    Applied this morning, called hotline to follow up to confirm if everything OK on their end and if need any further info to potentially expedite the approval process, was told the application is with the decision making team. Hopefully quick turn around on this as have a lot of expenses coming up in the next few weeks which could contribute to meet the spend requirements.

    • Spectre1228 on 15/12/2022 - 16:40

      Have you got approval and how long does it take?

      • A female dog on 15/12/2022 - 16:48

        Yep, was approved pretty quickly (within a couple of days) just ring to follow up on your application.

        Used PayAll to pay off my car loan to meet the min spend requirements lol.

  • bibimbap on 29/11/2022 - 13:08

    Does anyone know how long they will credit the bonus points? Done $7.7K on first statement and only got 6600 points.

    • The Hobo on 29/11/2022 - 13:57
      +1

      I'm guessing 1.1k worth of ineligible transactions?

      • bibimbap on 29/11/2022 - 13:58

        probably, thanks for the reply :)

        • JohnSy on 01/12/2022 - 17:55

          use beemit / or zipay when beemit isn't supported by the merchant to make the spend dollars eligible in the future.

          • nightelves on 07/12/2022 - 14:41

            @JohnSy: Zippay charges $2.50 per bpay transaction though.

              @tc423: how long did they credit you bonus points? I spent 4k and payall 4k. Didn't see the points after two weeks yet. Wondering weather they recognize those 4k payall transactions.

              • timhn on 29/01/2023 - 18:15

                @leski: You have received your statement?

  • watwatwat on 29/11/2022 - 17:05

    I tried linking to kogan in order to test the pay with points option. But with my calculation, it's closer to $1250 instead of just redeeming $1500 in gift cards through citi.

  • 1parle on 30/11/2022 - 15:55

    Any idea if we can make instant payments with PayAll feature? As of now, it schedules them after 1 week!

    • braker on 04/12/2022 - 14:27

      Nice! Did you use PayAll to get your points?

      • BuyLowLetsGo on 04/12/2022 - 14:31

        Yup, PayAll worked definitely because my normal day-to-day charges didn't hit the threshold.

  • JackMa101 on 02/12/2022 - 21:42

    Got my points and tried to close the card, however online support advises there is no pro rata refund offer on my account hence there will be no annual fee refund at all. Anyone else have the same situation?

  • BuyLowLetsGo on 04/12/2022 - 14:35

    Okay, so the Concierge service for the complimentary Luxury Transfer Service is a joke. Tried calling their Citi customer help, but all phone numbers given are inactive. Phone number in T&Cs don't work either.

    Anyone gotten this to work? Will be planning to use the 4th night free feature soon too.

    • dcool75 on 04/12/2022 - 18:59

      Both me and my partner used it. They just have one person attending calls so keep trying every few mins until you get through.

      Don't forget to ask for the quote for transfer service. If it exceeds $100 you will need to pay the difference.

      • BuyLowLetsGo on 04/12/2022 - 19:39

    • The Hobo on 09/12/2022 - 17:38

      Interesting, I'm trying to use beemit to earn points on my council rates and keep getting an internal server error.

        Got the same error with Beem and they haven't been able to fix it. Hopefully they can fix it before the next round of govt bills are due. Still would be nice to know if council rates, water rates, land tax and school fees earn reward points from people's experience.

  • whapkaplit on 11/12/2022 - 20:09

    When it comes to meeting the spend, does anyone know if it's $7500 of total spend, or 7500 points? I've spent nearly $8k on the card, but because some of those purchases were for council rates, I only have about 4500 points. Will I get my bonus points?

    I tried asking Citi over the phone and they said I should be fine, but I don't really trust that the person on the phone knew what they're talking about, considering it took ten minutes to convince them that the card I have even exists.

    • BuyLowLetsGo on 13/12/2022 - 11:50
      +1

      $1=1 point is the lowest tier conversion on this card fyi. Guessing your missing 3000 points is indicative that the spend did not count as "point eligible", so probably not contributing to your 7.5k spend. Should use Beem It for all bpay or Payall to make sure your spend counts towards the bonus.

      I wouldn't trust these guys either, they were quite uninformed about some card features like the luxury transfer/concierge feature.

      OR get it in writing I guess.

      • whapkaplit on 13/12/2022 - 12:13

        I was afraid of this. Thanks for the reply.

        EDIT: Woah! Just checked my account and the bonus points have been paid out!
        So, for others: just spending $7500 on anything seems to meet the requirement, even if some things don't earn points.

  • Bugishere on 11/12/2022 - 23:20

    Has anyone tried to switch to Qantas points after receiving the 300k bonus? I'd love to be earning QF points but lower annual fee and more velocity points make the initial Qantas sign-up far less attractive.

    • timhn on 12/12/2022 - 14:09

    Nice, got my points 1 day after statement.

    I'm thinking to convert all to woolies giftcards. Usually flight redemptions are poor for me as I like flying economy and flying jetstar during sales is so much better value (and pay cash). Whereas this is $1500 of woolies gift cards, ie. as close to cash as you can get. Hard to beat.
