Citibank runs the occasional promotion with their Citibank Rewards card where they offer 20X points (8mpd) at select merchants instead of the usual 4mpd. Traditionally, they’ve been partnering with Lazada, Qoo10 and Amazon with these 8mpd offers.
This time round, they have partnered with Takashimaya, Duty Free Singapore (DFS) and Tangs where you’ll be able to earn 8mpd for all your expenditure at these three places. You can find the full terms and conditions of this promotion here. This offer is valid until 3 May 2018.
Note that you’ll only be earning 8mpd (i.e 20X) for your first S$1,000 of expenditure during the promotional period per statement cycle. After which, you’ll would drop back to earning just 4mpd again. So do bear this in mind when taking advantage of this promotion.
If you don’t already own the Citibank Rewards card, you can support the site by applying for one via the link below.
when does the 20X points credited into the account? immediately?
Within a few days of transaction posting based on previous experience.
Does buying taka vouchers contitute to 8mpd?
No offence Matthew but as a student, how are you applying for these cards?
Matthew’s parents have set up a trust fund for him that allows him to draw down an annual 7-figure sum. When he completes his formal education, he will then be able to access the 9-figure lump sum.
Sign: His PA. (Just kidding guys! Some weekend humour)
No offence bro but by being a ton smarter and more resourceful than you when you were in uni
If you’re telling me its normal for university students in Singapore to have a 30k annual salary, then i stand guided by your immense intelligence and resourcefulness.
*His immense intelligence and resourcefulness.
Please get the subject matter right. I have never claimed to be smarter and more resourceful than you.
Please cite where the “his” is in your original, unnecessarily snarky response.
I take it you saw Matthew’s eventual response? FYI that was all I was looking for.
Your initial unnecessarily snarky question is about Matthew and how he is able to apply for these cards, so I answer on his behalf that HE did it by being smarter than you.
If that was all you were looking for you could have asked very nicely ‘Hey Matthew, can you share on how you are able to apply for these cards as a student’ instead of going down the ‘no offence but…’ route. No offence is really redundant. No offence but you’re incredibly stupid. Will you really not take offence?
Not the only one to find you offensive here. 🙂 Have a great day JT.
Chill out guyssss. Let’s not flood each other’s inboxes with email notifications of follow up comments. Moving on ~
I think some further clarification is required for the benefit of you and the other people you made reference to. Contextually there is a significant difference between “no offence but you are incredibly stupid” and what I asked. Just FYI not every use of “no offence” is offensive.
When I said “no offence” it was on the basis that my question contained a presumtion that he did not earn the requisite amount of money required for a credit card. Maybe Matthew does earn substantial income from a side business he is running while being a student? Maybe he owns several properties and earns rental income? In that context the presumption might be offensive, hence the disclaimer “no offence”. There is however the possibility that he really does not earn income, and in that sense the question is legitimate.
On the other hand, “no offence but you are incredibly stupid” is a completely different use of the term because the second part the sentence is by default, offensive and cannot be read any other way. In other words, it is the second part of the sentence that determines if the sentence is offensive, not the use of “no offence”.
Lets all read things in their proper context and not jump to conclusions.
Yawn. Why don’t you take the time to reply to P’s comment below. I really couldn’t even be bothered to read a single thing you said above.
Because I thought that maybe you could be educated as to the proper use of the English language, but it seems you don’t read.
P on the other hand is clearly the product of a union of a cow and a watermelon.
you’re incredibly offensive. no offence but did your parents teach you manners?
Through supplementary cards.
Does 8mpd works for online spend at Tangs and Taka?
Does anyone know if the 20x Points promotion will be valid for shops located within the Taka Building? Eg. Best Denki located on 5th floor of Takashimaya?
For Best Denki it won’t apply, AFAIK.
what about for Changi DFS, also 20x ?
HI Mathew, I interpret the T&Cs a little differently. If the max citi dollars per statement cycle is 20K, we should be able to spend S$2K per statement cycle instead of $1K as you mentioned. Further more, the promotion period is 23rd March – 2nd May so this should cover 2 statement cycles so the maximum one could spend / earn is $4K and 40K points. Am I missing something here?
3. Further, under this Promotion, an Eligible Cardholder will earn additional 10X Citi Dollars (every S$1
charged = 10 Citi Dollars) for retail purchases effected on the Citi Rewards Card at the Participating
Department Stores from 23 March 2018 to 3 May 2018, both dates inclusive. The maximum amount of
Citi Dollars that each Eligible Cardholder can earn under this Promotion is capped at 20,000 Citi Dollars
per statement cycle. The earning of Citi Dollars for the May 2018 statement shall end on 3 May 2018 and
is capped at 20,000 Citi Dollars. For example, if the Eligible Cardholder’s May statement cycle date falls on
1 May, the Eligible Cardholder will continue to earn up to cap of 20,000 Citi Dollars per statement cycle
between 2 May to 3 May 2018, both dates inclusive.
Hmm I’m reading it as the Promotion being the 10X + 10X. So the 20,000 Citi Dollar statement cap to me is at S$1,000. But no harm trying it out for an amount slightly above S$1,000! The worst thing that can happen is you only earn 4mpd *gasps*
Since the Promotion allows you to earn 20 Citi dollars for every S$1 spent (10X + 10X), and the maximum number of Citi dollars you can earn per statement cycle is capped at 20,000 Citi Dollars, that means S$1,000 spent per statement cycle will earn you 20,000 Citi Dollars. I think Matthew is correct.
However, I think Matthew’s “worst case scenario” of earning 4 mpd on the amount spent above S$1,000 may not be correct. This is because upon S$1,000 spent, the cardholder would have earned the maximum 20,000 Citi Dollars allowed in that statement cycle. Therefore, for every additional S$1 spent above S$1,000, I believe the cardholder will earn no further Citi dollars.
For most cardholders, this Promotion would span two statement cycles, therefore giving them a maximum of 40,000 Citi Dollars earned in those two statement cycles, as Cindy pointed out. However for some lucky individuals, the Promotion might actually span three statement cycles (i.e. those whose monthly statements start on any day between the 24th and the 2nd, both days inclusive). That’s a maximum of 60,000 Citi Dollars!
Tried at the bakery at food level in Taka (just outside Cold Storage) on Mon, only no 20X, just the normal 10X.
wondering does it apply to the foodcourt at Taka.
