Yesterday I was shopping at The Curve,a guy cross to me ask me apply Citibank with promotion free GPS,it is true?Is a damn attractive offered by Citibank, someone apply it and receive the item?

Yes. I got this offer last friday. They offering it to me through sms and their agent just called me and ask me to provide them my details (etc. IC, Current card holding copy & application form).
I went to their website I found there are no such thing in their web. I really doubt with that.

Remember: All credit card + amazingly expensive gifts are fraud. They'll just enticed you to sign up..and then say will send the gift months later....by that time, the sales guy already has resigned and move elsewhere.

Banks knows about this, but they just close one eye and let their salesmen con people...as long they can bring in sales, who cares.

When you call the bank, they'll deny all knowledge of such thing. That is why it is not on their website.

hey guys, i just received the SMS also. it looks like it is too good to be true

Check 1st what Navigation system they provide..If not compartible wth M'sia updated free maps such as malfreemaps or even the not so frequent masingmaps...useless liao

Is teru, receipt sms from dem.

Aiyo Matrix dun simply say la if you are not sure.. do you know there is a big booth for this promotion at the Curve le... you think this is mega fraud meh... you can always ask them to photocopy the promotion leaflet for your reference de...

last nite went the curve too.

the sales girl keep pursue me.

free gps worth RM700 wor...

too good to be true.

photocopy the leaflet then what? u think you can bring it back to the bank and claim when ur salesperson already run?

when an offer sounds too good to be true, maybe it is.

1. apply credit card
2. obtain gps
3. cut credit card
4. ????
5. profit ?





clearly a fraud case.

A sales girl called Sarah Lim called me this afternoon offering me the GPS and Nokia free gift if I apply for the credit card now. And now I have received an email from the sales girl as well.

However, I have saw this advertisement on Citibank Credit card website last week and key in interest through Citibank website. But, today when I browse through Citibank website again, and there is no such thing at all.

Can this be trusted? I have read it in Citibank website wor....

Why want to risk your future over free RM 700 gps shiet?

Cheap GPS... doesn't seem to work well.

wat is the gps brand ?? hahaha.. if garmin 1400 series then i terus apply...

Aiya... I am currently using Garmin GPS la... Why should i need the GPSBay cheap GPS? But just wanna clarify everything here because she is emailing me using sarah.sl.lim@citi.com which seems trust able and this would put other into this fraud...

Anyway, I have replied to the email asking for official promotion letter and related information from her.

the sales girl said after apply not happy then cut off.

if you are lucky, you get your share..

i regret tat day no apply lo at the curve....

hi dear,

i don't even think it is a licensed mapking and definitely not garmin
must be those pirated china mapking clone with may be compatible with malsing using mapking format

they say is malaysia punya .. GPS bay

http://www.gpsbay.com/index.php?p=products-item&id=1078

mapking detected

caption obvious: dear fleet, we are making contact, malsingmaps detected on mapking

I already call the Citibank to confirm this promotion. They say it's true.
but we have to apply 2 card in order to get this gps.

http://gpsbay.com/index.php?p=contents-item&id=6064

i already apply, the shell ones. just for my petrol expenditure.
anyways if u need the free gift, u need to do balance transfer from other cc, or apply 2 at a time.

first 500. and those 500 are either ghost or their own people. just like std chart cb give away

apply credit card u get free credit card... see wat happen to me

If this is US, some ppl may have sued Citibank for false advertisement.

haha... I thought you have cut all the cards before they charge RM50 service tax?

There is a catch on this promo. They sales girl called me said
i need to sign up balance transfer min $1k and i can make early settlement without penalty.

credit card salesmen are nais to be fooled.

its limited la.. not sign up then get liao.. like dat they will bankrupt by buying gps for eveyone

Sure won't get to be in the 1st 500.... at the end give you a 2GB Pendrive.

Hey guys,

Did any 1 of you applied the card? I applied and i got my cards two months ago.
As their promised, I should get my GPS after 8-10weeks once i had swipe my cards for 3times. Eventually i did but till now already 2months ago i still dun get my gps.
Called them yesterday, they said the 1st batch 500units already sent out. Now they just ordered 2nd batch and will send it out in end of Jun which is this month.

I would like to know did any1 there applied the cards and got your GPS ?

yep i applied too...but no t received any GPS...call them suddenly they said within 10 week....please call again within end of this month

Oh I just got my GPS unit today. Delivered to my house at 8.30am this morning. Damn freaking early for package delivery. Anyway its fully set with license on the MapKing maps. I apply 2 credit card during that promo at the Curve lo. So now can cut my card now... Hahaha

Guys, I also get the GPS unit today around 1pm, delivered by CITYLINK. I apply 2 cards through a phone call by citibank marketing staff after I reply the apply credit card SMS.

ohai dupe.

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU GUYS FROM THE THAT YOU APPLY THE CREDIT CARD ,BEFORE THEY DELIVER THE GPS

last time, when u apply citibank-airasia credit card, free benetton trolley bag worth rm400..

so my dad applied for the card, and approved. after a month of waiting for the bag, then he called citibank hotline.

they replied, "sorry sir, the trolley bag already finish, no stock anymore. we will sent u a rm100 airasia voucher yeah"

then wait, wait n wait, still no voucher or what-so-ever, till a year, my dad just terminated the credit card.. so sucks, citibank. sorry

It's a cheapo GPS anyway.
