Citi has extended its competitive bonus miles offer for the popular PremierMiles card, allowing you to net 30,000 bonus miles with payment of the annual fee and a minimum spend of only S$800 in the first two months, now valid for applications through to the end of July 2025.

The excellent deal is the equivalent of buying miles for just 0.65 cents each, a highly competitive rate, provided you have a relatively modest spend coming up in the next few months.

To be eligible, you’ll have to be a new-to-bank customer who therefore isn’t currently a primary Citi credit card holder, or you must have cancelled your last card with the bank as primary cardholder more than 12 months prior to your application date.

  APPLY HERE

That means if you cancelled your last Citi card in January 2024 or earlier, you’re now eligible again for the sign-up bonus.

Sign-up bonus: 30,000 miles bonus

Here are the full details of the sign-up bonus options for the Citi PremierMiles card, now running for applications between now and 31st July 2025.

Provided you don’t currently hold a Citi credit card as the primary cardholder and haven’t held one in the 12 months before application, you’ll be eligible for a bonus of 20,000 miles, subject to having S$800 of spending to make from the approval date until the end of the second full calendar month, plus a further 10,000 miles for payment of the first year annual fee.

For example, if you are approved for the card on 17th February 2025, the qualifying spend period is from that date until 30th April 2025 (two full calendar months from 1st March 2025).

Remember this offer is subject to payment of the annual fee, which is S$196.20. Your card must be approved within 30 days of the application date.

10,000 bonus miles are credited immediately on payment of the annual fee, while the remaining 20,000 bonus miles are awarded within three months of the end of your qualifying spend period.

Pro Tip: Try to get approved towards the beginning of a month to give yourself almost three months to meet the spend threshold.

Here’s how the bank outlines the offer:

  APPLY HERE

Remember you will also earn 10,000 miles for paying the first year annual fee and 960 miles for the S$800 spend itself, assuming eligible local transactions on your card, for a total earning of 30,960 miles, though the extra 960 miles aren’t part of the total bonus since you would receive them anyway without any offer running.

Cost per mile is the annual fee (S$196.20) divided by the bonus element (30,000 miles) = 0.65 cents each.

Full terms and conditions for the sign-up offer can be found here.

Fee waiver: 8,000 miles bonus

If you’re new to Citi credit cards but prefer not to pay the annual fee (first year fee waiver), and will also spend at least S$800 from card approval to the end of the second full calendar month following the month of card approval (as defined above), you will earn a lower 8,000 miles bonus.

APPLY HERE

Including the 960 miles you’ll earn for the spend itself, under this offer you’re effectively earning 11.2 mpd for the first S$800 spend (8,960 total miles earned divided by S$800).

Personally we would go for the annual fee option above, rather than this one, to unlock the much more generous 30,000 bonus miles offer.

The terms and conditions for the 8,000 bonus miles offer can be found here.

Eligible spend

With these sign-up offers you’ll have to make sure your minimum spend (e.g. S$800 for the maximum bonus) falls under eligible categories, which Citi defines as:

Any retail transactions (including internet purchases) which do not arise from:

• Annual fees, interest charges, late payment charges, GST, cash advances, instalment / easy / extended / equal payment plans, preferred payment plans, balance transfers, cash advances, quasi-cash transactions, all fees charged by Citibank or third party, miscellaneous charges imposed by Citibank (unless otherwise stated in writing by Citibank);
• Funds transfers using the card as source of funds;
• Bill payments (including via Citibank Online or via any other channel or agent)

Citi PayAll transactions are counted towards the minimum spend, with regular offers to buy miles at competitive rates.

That could make a rental payment, income tax bill or insurance payment a perfect way to meet the S$800 minimum spend under this bonus miles earning offer.

Do note that the terms and conditions for the latest sign-up offer specifically exclude Citi PayAll transactions where you opt not to be charged the Citi PayAll service fee from the eligible spend category for the sign-up bonus.

Alternatively, you can even achieve the spend buying Cold Storage or NTUC vouchers for future shopping, if you don’t have any immediate expenses coming up.

Citi Miles are very flexible

One of the best things about Citi Miles (and Citi ThankYou points) in Singapore is the wide range of transfer partners compared with other bank loyalty points.

You can transfer your miles into 10 different frequent flyer programmes and into IHG points.

As you can see from the table above, Citi gives you a wide range of flight redemption options including Oneworld and SkyTeam carriers.

For a full list of which credit card loyalty points balances transfer into which frequent flyer programmes or hotel loyalty schemes in Singapore, check out our comprehensive guide here. It also gives examples of some of the alliance and partner airline redemptions you can achieve that you might not have considered before.

That’s not the only reason the Citi PremierMiles card keeps its place in our wallets though. Check out our recent full review outlining why it remains our favourite general spend credit card in Singapore, including recent PayAll deals and uncapped 4 mpd earn rate categories.

The competitive sign-up award for Citi’s PremierMiles card was hiked to 30,000 miles in 2022, including annual fee miles and the spend bonus, also maintaining a competitive low minimum spend of S$800 in the first two months, which should be easy to achieve.

This latest deal has now been extended, for applications made by 31st July 2025.

It’s the equivalent of buying miles for 0.65 cents each, for those with S$800 spend to make in the first two months.

Remember you might also qualify having cancelled your last Citi credit card more than 12 months ago (for example, if you cancelled in January 2024 or earlier, you’re now eligible again).
