Looking for the best rewards for
your credit card spending? Trust
the country’s leading credit card brand to have the answer.
Citibank has launched a new
credit card that features instant rewards available to cardholders throughout
the year. The new Citibank Rewards Card is the latest addition to the
successful portfolio of this industry leader, and is seen to set a new
benchmark for loyalty programs in the market.
Three of its benefits that are
expected to attract consumers include free movie passes, shopping rebates and
annual fee waivers. Building on the latest technology, Citibank has also made
redemption of these rewards extremely convenient for cardholders – no more
vouchers, charge slips or forms to fill out. Just present your credit card at their partner merchants and
claim your treat.
According to Citi Country Officer
for the Philippines Sanjiv Vohra: “Citibank has been a pioneer in the rewards
arena since we issued our first plastic, and we are all excited to be raising the bar anew in the
industry with this new card – for the benefit of the Filipino consumer.”
Consumer Business Manager Sergio
Zanatti reaffirmed the bank’s commitment to anticipating the needs of consumers
and driving innovation for the banking industry. “We remain
focused on providing best in class financial products and services to our
clients, and are confident that this new addition will be popular with the
public,” said Consumer Business Manager for Citibank Philippines Sergio Zanatti.
The Citibank Rewards Card is seen
to appeal to young professionals, providing them best values for their shopping
and recreational activities.
As the ultimate rewards card for
regular movie-goers and frequent shoppers, the new card offers a free P100
movie pass for a minimum single-receipt purchase of P2,500 anywhere. This means that online and
international transactions are qualified to earn movie passes.
It is also easy to redeem the
movie passes. Cardmembers do not need to collect and present charge slips. When
they swipe the card at our participating cinemas, they can see how many movie
passes they can redeem. The P100 movie passes are credited to their accounts
three business days after the purchase and are valid for 30 days
Up to two movie passes can be
redeemed per day in Cash & Carry Cinema, Eastwood Cinemas, Festival Cinema,
Greenhills Promenade, Greenhills Theatre Mall, Robinsons Movieworld, SM Cinema
and Walter Mart Cinemas.
“Reward yourself by doing what
you like best. This is what the Citibank Rewards Card is all about. You don’t
have to wait for promotions anymore because we have packed all these features
into the card and made them available year round,” shared Bea Tan, Credit
Payment Products Director of Citibank in the Philippines.
Cardholders are also entitled to
generous 5% rebates when shopping at Aldo, Aldo Accessories, Celio, Charles
& Keith, Giordano, Marks & Spencer, Nike Park, Pedro, Runnr, Toby’s, Topshop,
Topman, Urban Athletics and Zara. Earn as much as P1,000 rebates per month or
P12,000 a year.
Cardholders also receive rebates
at all department stores – as much as 3% at The Landmark Department Store,
Metro Department Store, Rustan’s Department Store and SM Department Store and
1% rebate for all other department stores. Cardmembers can use the rebates in
denomination of P100 to pay for their next purchase at the participating
merchants and these do not expire.
The new card also waives annual
fees for principal cardholders who spend at least P20,000 per month, or
P240,000 within their year of membership. In addition, their first three supplementary
cardmembers are free when they each make purchases at least six times every
membership year.
“It’s shaping up to be another
milestone year for Citibank in the Philippines and we will be sharing more
positive news to our loyal clients and to the public in a few months. We want to thank our customers for
continuing to support Citibank, and are optimistic that they will find our new
card to be truly rewarding,” said Zanatti.
