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

There is one TnC to deny this.

QUOTE
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.

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.

Good question.... I believe it will take the posting date of Sat's transactions.
That's why I never swipe in other days jut to be sure it will be otherwise... smart leh ?

No la, tifosi smarter tongue.gif in the event both of u tie in same qualifying date, tifosi will rank higher than u to win 30% CB due to higher amount of retail purchases made within the week cycle.

Hi guys,

How can we assure our self we can get this citibank cash back 30%? If every week spend 501 bucks on this 3 categories, and end up dont get it, it will be very rugi due to we don't use titanium and mbb amex.

I try to whack the card by noon or latest by 3pm saturday to complete the RM500, normally RM501 bucks. But I still feel I may get zero after 10 weeks of spend of RM500.
RM5000*6.2% = RM310  (titanium + amex average is 6.2% = (5 + 7.5) / 2 )

either get RM150 x 10 = RM1500
or
get to pay extra RM310

Btw, is Mymydin eligible or not as grocery? in the TnC, it stated Mydin only but not mymydin or mymart.

Thank you and hope to hear comment from all expert here.

The chance of winning is slim. Only 333 card members can win the weekly cash back. If more than 333 qualified, then the first 333 spend the most will win the 30% CB.

let say the cycle of 18May to 24May,

scenario no. 1
18 May
300 ppl qualified for 30% cash back. (300 ppl will get it)

19 May
100 ppl qualified for 30% cash back. (1st 33 ppl will get it)

total is 300 + 33 = 333 ppl.

scenario no.2
18 May
500 ppl qualified for 30% cashback, (the highest spender of the cycle will get the 30%cashback)
if got 333 ppl spend 700-1000 during the week,  then those who just whack the card 500++ for the 30% cashback will not get anything at all.
please enlighten me if my assumption is correct.

Scenario 2
Yes you are right. But those spend rm1000 to win the "30% CB" effectively getting 15% CB instead due to rm150 capping per card member per week. Unless all citibank's card members pakat only 333 ppl spend gham gham rm500 per week to beat the Citibank's trick.

the issue here is participants spent above RM500 in all the categories required but still do not know if he/she will get the 30% cashback ... you're happy here because you got your 30% by spending RM600+ ... but if you had spent RM700+ but still not qualified, wouldn't you want to know the reason why?

it's the grey area of not knowing how much is enough to get the 30% ... what if you don't even get it if you had spent RM999+ ... still happy and assume you belongs to the lowest spender so it wasn't your lucky week and keep trying again? if yes, then cool, keep spending ...  rclxms.gif

cheers ...

Anyway, to win rm150 in 2 weeks contest is no longer yielding 30% CB. It's well below 15% if one spent more than rm500 each week.

I have done all my qualifying transaction of RM 500+ before 11AM on a Saturday! (Posted the pic a page back). So I have done all I could in my case. What else can I do somemore? I will be giving a call to Citibank soon regarding this.

It was spelt out clearly in TnC that the weekly CB cap is RM50k in total, therefore only 333 winners per week. If more than 333 card members qualified on Saturday, then the highest spenders wins. So you need to spend more than rm500 to win. One forumer reported that she spent rm2000 to win the rm150.

Can I know what is Bank Negara's email? I will call Citibank and if I don't get a satisfactory reply, I will e-mail out an official complaint to them plus CC to Bank Negara.

You can argue this point with Citibank and BNM.
Citibank prominently advertised 30% cash back with only rm500 spent in 3 categories. First come fist served is fair and acceptable but the additional condition of highest spender wins is contradicting with 30% CB claimed in the ad.
Did Citibank advertised UP TO 30% ?

Normally there would be a TNC on all promos. If they dont have this condition what if 1000 people qualifies on the first day, don't tell me they have to look at the time of the day a person qualifies(based on posting date or trans date?). Moreover with the higher spender condition participants will try to swipe more than rm500.

Citibank's 30% CB campaign is specifically designed to spur card members spendings. TnC was crystal clear, no room to complain. The only possible way to complain about citibank is to accuse Citibank for misleading advertisement. Advertised 30% CB prominently but no winner can actually get effective 30% CB.

If you spent 1k, the actual CB pay out in your case is 15% then.

hello,

I made a mistake and forget to pay my credit card and got charged RM 10 for late.

I was in Swiss for 6 weeks and before I went there, I made a full payment. But Sportify (music subscription) charged RM 14.90 and I always thought the due date is yet to come. How come RM14.90 can charged up to RM10 interest because of 5 days late?

Anyone can explain abit?
*
There are 2 chargers.

Late payment charges of 1% or RM10 which ever is higher.
+
18% Finance charges.

Minimum is RM10 or 1% whichever is higher and this just the penalty NOT the interest.
