Citibank Gift: Up to S$6,976 welcome bonus

On top of the SingSaver offer, Citibank is running a promotion of its own for new Citigold customers, which is valid for accounts opened by 31 December 2022. 

New Citigold customers can earn further cash rewards from Citibank by completing certain actions as shown below: 

For a better understanding of how the investment and insurance bonuses are calculated, do refer to the T&Cs. 

All customers must complete an Investment Risk Profile with their Relationship Manager. Beyond this, you can pick and choose which of the above tasks you wish to complete. For instance, a new-to-bank customer who:

• who applies online (applying via SingSaver would qualify)
• deposits S$250,000 in fresh funds, and 
• holds any principal credit card

would already receive an extra S$800 in cash.

As a reminder, Citigold customers also earn a relationship bonus of 5-30% on any credit card points earned through the Citi Prestige Card. I’ve explained how that works in this post, but to summarise, here’s the impact on how many miles per dollar you earn.
