Citi has extended the sign-up bonus window for its popular Citi Rewards card, with 10,800 miles on offer subject to a retail spend of at least S$3,000 in the first three full calendar months of card membership. The deal is now offered for applications by 31st December 2020.
When the offer was first launched way back in January 2019, it was a rare bonus for the card which had previously not offered sign-up incentives. This seventh extension to the deal means it will have been running continuously for two years, and can almost certainly now be considered a de facto year-round offer.
Given that the deal excludes those who have held a Citi credit card in the last 12 months, those initially ineligible having only recently cancelled their cards may find that they can take advantage of the offer between now and the end of December 2020, provided their 12-month ‘wait’ is up.
10,800 miles sign-up bonus
The sign-up bonus for the Citi Rewards card for those not currently holding a Citi credit card and having not held one in the last 12 months prior to application, is worth 10,800 miles, provided you have S$3,000 of spending to do in the next three full calendar months starting from the end of the calendar month of card approval.
For example, if you are approved for the card on 7th October 2020, the qualifying spend period is from that date until 31st January 2021 (three full calendar months from the end of October 2020).
Bonus miles are awarded within two calendar months of meeting the spend criteria.
Pro Tip: Get approved towards the beginning of the month (e.g. early October) to give yourself almost four months to meet the spend threshold.
This card also features full fee waiver for the first year of membership as standard.
