I got a call from Citibank yesterday offering me their credit card. The gift is either the trolley bag or the La Gourmet thermal pot. I'm not keen on the bag as I have a lot of bags already. I wouldn't mind getting the thermal pot.

Do you think it's a good offer?

Received my citibank cc yday. No time to activate it yet. I got offer to get trolley bag or thermal pot without spending 1k. As long as I do 3 swipes within a month to get the free gift and waived the gst. I opted for the thermal pot although I don't think it costs $300 as claimed.

Yes, cash back card called business platinum visa. Ok, I think it was within a month 3 swipes. Thanks for reminding me. Then I better use the card soon. The offer seems to be over for not having to spend the 1k. Dunno true or not la.

wan7075, agent confirmed with me a few times. Our calls and emails went back and forth due to the holidays or me being busy. So far she did follow up on the procedures such as the calls need to be recorded during the verbal application process. I called up her ext at Citibank. She called me at my office, etc. Let's see how it goes.

Oh, I did tell her I don't want the card she offered if I had to spend 1k. This card would not be my main cc.

Did my 3 swipes yesterday. Quite easy enough to do.
