Spending RM 500 per week for me also hard until there's big purchase.

P/S: I'm single and I'm not living with my immediate family.

good idea... buy voucher.

Is Groceries based on the Merchant Name or MCC ?
As we know AEON Supermarket uses same MCC as departmental store.

Shell & Petronas have petrol cards available.

Groceries - Giant, Cold Storage, Mercato, Jasons Food Hall, AEON, Tesco, AEON Big (formerly known as Carrefour), Mydin, Econsave, The Store/Pacific, Village Grocer, Jaya Grocer, Billion, NSK, Servay, 99 Speedmart, and Everrise, in Malaysia.

Petrol - MCC 5541 Service Stations, MCC 5542 Automated Fuel Dispensers

Dining -
MCC - Descriptions
5812 - Eating Places, Restaurants
5813 - Bars, Cocktail Lounges, Discotheques, Nightclubs, and Taverns
5814 - Fast Food Restaurants
5441 - Candy, Nut, Confectionery Stores
5451 - Dairy Products Stores
5462 - Bakeries
5499 - Miscellaneous Food Stores
5811 - Caterers

Agree... such high % Cashback of course First Come, First Serve...
IMHO, spend on the first day would surely can get

If you are interested to know about the Previous 30% Cashback promotion T&C

There is one TnC to deny this.


For RM50K weekly cap, only RM166,666.66 spent from whole Malaysia is needed to hit the cap which can be easily achieved.
It needs only 333.33 card members to spend RM500 on the first clock of Saturday.

Too difficult to win.

Do you really hold a Citibank card... If yes, what's the harm to enroll. [to clarify - aeiou228 wrote "I will not enroll" before edit & i am not a die hard Citi fan ]

Someone gave similar analysis in some old thread, but we got what we want last round

I guess no risk no gain.... we know aeiou228 won't be joining.

the page says this promo is for all cards. so, if using a "points" card, still get points, i guess. but if using the platinum cashback card, is the normal cashback still running on top of this promo if one succeeds in getting this 30% cashback?


also, interesting to note for this promo, a few more stores on the list:

Groceries - Giant, Cold Storage, Mercato, Jasons Food Hall, AEON, Tesco, AEON Big (formerly known as Carrefour), Mydin, Econsave, The Store/Pacific, Village Grocer, Jaya Grocer, Billion, NSK, Servay, 99 Speedmart, and Everrise, in Malaysia.

would be nice if the cashback card have them too on a permanent basis but now only these:

2% cash rebate on all spending on groceries at AEON Big (formerly known as Carrefour), Tesco, Cold Storage, Giant, Everise, Servay, Econsave and Mydin, limited to a monthly spend of RM3,000 to earn the rebate (or limited to a monthly rebate of RM60);

I am not sure on this, but at least I can confirm that the voucher counter at my place is listed as SMKT (AMEX 15% cash back experience) so either way works for me.

The cap is low but I guess it is fair since it lasts for 10 weeks.

nicely done. have received my invite also, will sign the documents this weekend.

think they are not that clear with the points for existing citigold customers, where all the points from the previous cards prior to the Prestige is not available to be carried forward to the new Prestige.

fingers crossed that will still be in time for the 1,000th customer.

Let's see if you can win RM150 CB for the first week.

Let's hope ronnie does

Citibank just Approved My Cash Back Platinum Card, without any Verification Call...
Submit the application thru Agent on Friday, got Card's Approval on Wednesday...Quite Efficient
The New Card still in HQ, but CS said It will be sent out by Monday....

Previous 30% CB promo (Oct-Dec2012):
"A total weekly cash back amount of RM125,000 (“Weekly Cap”) is allocated to each Weekly Cycle and is given to each Successful Participant up to a maximum of RM100 per Weekly Cycle (“Individual Weekly Cap”), on a First-Come, First-Served basis (as defined below) until the Weekly Cap is met."
Which means at least 1250 persons qualified for the CB per weekly cycle.

For Current promo roughly 3 to 4 hundred will qualify per week, so even you qualify on the first day of the weekly cycle, you still have lesser chances than the previous promo, not "sure get".
This condition will kick in if the CB is exceeded:
If the Weekly Cap cannot fulfil the total cash back amount for all Successful Participants with a same Qualifying Date, 30% Cash Back will be awarded starting from a Successful Participant with the highest total monetary amount of all Retail Purchases made by the Successful Participant in that particular Weekly Cycle which has been posted and captured by Citibank during that particular Weekly Cycle.

So spend wisely.

There's higher risk we may not get the 30% .... Let's scare everyone away so that ronnie can get his 30% cash back, ok ?

Bro ronnie, go fot it......no risk no gain, never try never get, no harm trying, update us when you get the RM150 CB ya
