Citi PremierMiles Card extends 30,000 miles welcome offer

The Citi PremierMiles Card has been offering a 30,000 miles welcome bonus since August 2022. This offer has been periodically extended, with the latest iteration now valid for applications submitted by 28 February 2025.

Apply

The minimum spend remains attractively low at S$800, and you don’t even need to pay the first year’s annual fee if you don’t want to (though your welcome bonus will be lower at 8,000 miles in this case).

Citi PremierMiles Card enhanced welcome offer

Apply

From 1 August 2024 to 28 February 2025, new-to-bank customers who apply for a Citi PremierMiles Card can choose from two different welcome offers. 

Fee Paying Option: Spend S$800, get 30,960 miles

New-to-bank customers who pay the S$196.20 annual fee and spend S$800 within two months of approval will receive:

• 960 miles for spending S$800 @ 1.2 mpd
• 10,000 miles for paying the S$196.20 annual fee
• 20,000 miles for meeting the spending requirement

Fee Waiver Option: Spend S$800, get 8,960 miles

New-to-bank customers who choose a first year fee waiver and spend S$800 within two months of approval will receive:

• 960 miles for spending S$800 @ 1.2 mpd
• 8,000 miles for meeting the spending requirement

What counts as qualifying spend?

Successful applicants must spend at least S$800 within the first two months after approval, otherwise known as the qualifying period.

The qualifying period runs from the approval date and two full calendar months following that. For example, those approved on 15 November 2024 will have until 31 January 2025 to meet the minimum spend.

In other words, you actually have 2-3 months to hit the minimum spend, and should apply as early in the month as possible to maximise your time. 

Qualifying spend excludes the following:

Citi has previously clarified that even though transactions like education, insurance premiums, charitable donations and GrabPay top-ups will not earn base points, they will still count as qualifying spend for the purposes of welcome offers. 

For avoidance of doubt, Citi PayAll transactions will count towards qualifying spend, but only if the admin fee is paid. Prior to 2 May 2023, even no-fee payments would count as qualifying spend!

Citi PayAll currently supports the following payments:

When will the welcome offers be credited?

If you choose the fee paying option, 10,000 bonus Citi Miles will be credited once the annual fee has been paid.

The 8,000 or 20,000 bonus Citi Miles will be credited within three months after the qualifying spend has been met.

What can you do with Citi Miles?

Citi Miles do not expire, and Citi PremierMiles Cardholders can transfer points to 11 different airline and hotel loyalty programmes at the following ratios.

Partner	Transfer Ratio (Citi Miles: Partner)
	10,000:10,000
	10,000:10,000
	10,000:10,000
	10,000:10,000
	10,000:10,000
	10,000:10,000
	10,000:10,000
	10,000:10,000
	10,000:10,000
	10,000:10,000
	10,000:10,000

A S$27.25 conversion fee applies for every transfer, and do note that Thank You points earned on the Citi Prestige/Citi Rewards cards do not pool with Citi Miles, so you’ll have to redeem them separately.

SingSaver alternative

If this offer isn’t to your liking, an alternative option is available for applications made via SingSaver (you cannot stack the Citi and SingSaver offers).

Conclusion

Citibank has further extended its welcome offer for the Citi PremierMiles Card, with 30,000 bonus miles for just S$800 spend and paying the annual fee. If annual fees are not for you, there’s still the option of a first year fee waiver with 8,000 bonus miles. 

Despite its non-pooling points, I’d consider the Citi PremierMiles Card to be one of the better general spending cards on the market, thanks to its wide range of transfer partners and Priority Pass with two free visits.
