Hello, does anyone know is it possible to waive GOVERMENT TAX from Citibank Clear card and how to do it? Thanks ah

For AF can call to CS request base on approval, for GST only can redeem by Reward point. I not think can waive the GST.

Last year I got AF and GST waived.

Called up CS,
AF = immediate waiver granted.
GST = they gave loyalty cashback'. I had to pay off the RM50 GST and they gimme RM50 loyalty cashback at next statement.
But this year, they refused to waive AF and GST on me. So I requested for non-renewal/cancellation. Bye bye to them.

Just want to know whether its better to apply for Citibank Cashback Platinum Card or Citibank Business Platinum Card.

I applied online for Citibank Cashback Platinum Card, however the Citibank staff provide me an option to apply for Citibank Business Platinum Card.

I thought the Business Platinum Card is mainly for business only but according to him, if I am targeting on cash back, Business Platinum Card would be better thou the cash back is not applicable to petrol, however there is no capping for all categories.

I have done a bit of research but I need some opinion.

TQ notworthy.gif

Basically need to see what u spend on the card. I have both Cash back and Business.

Cash Back i only will use for pertrol, Watson/Guardian, Tesco and Phone Bill.
Petrol: RM600 X 5% can get Rm30
Guardian: 2% cash back without Cap
Teso: 2% with Rm60 Cap
other 0.3% cash back

Business: other than above cash back i will use Business card to earn 1% cash back

But need to confirm that u money will use above rm300 on Business card you only consider to take it. It you only spend below RM300 then you stick to Cash Back Card only.

You can have a try for first year since first year AF should be waive. So u just paid rm100 GST for both card. As long as in 1 year u can earn cash back Rm100 above why not ?

Cash Back is diff for both card:
Cash Back: above Rm50 automatic cash back, below Rm50 bring forward to next month (didn't see any cash back amount because always below rm50)
Business: Accumulate and no expired for the cash back. Cash back only you give call to citibank. (i used 2 years already now have cash back Rm3xxx, at least can see amount of cash back)

Hope this can help u to decide...

Thanks.

Since I am living in Labuan, I dont use much petrol; less than MYR200 a month! We don't have Tesco here, not even Watson. The most is Guardian, Parkson and Giant. What I do mostly on my credit card is purchase online. I am not sure if the cash back for both card also include online purchase.
*
For cash back 2% in Labuan only Guardian and Giant. I assume that you spend around rm500 as well. then Petrol RM200 Montly. You said about online transaction in 0.3% cash back, but u use Rm1000 only cash back RM3.
assume you are use more on online RM1000
Rm500 cash back 2% = RM10
RM200 Cash back 5% = Rm10
Rm1000 cash back 0.3% = RM3

Montly cash back RM23. Need 2.2 Month only can get Cash Back to break even your GST. (after deduct GST u earn yearly RM225.4)

If u use Both Cash Back and Business Platinum Card
Rm500 Cash back 2% = RM10 (cash back)
RM200 Cash back 5% = Rm10 (cash back)

Rm1000 cash Back 0.3% and 1% = rm7.9 (Platinum)

monthly cash back RM27.9 but you need 3.5 month to break even your GST RM100. Earn more RM4.9 but need more time to break even GST (after Deduct GST u earn yearly RM237.15)

if u use only Business Platinum
total Spend monthly is 1700
cash back = RM14.9

Monthly cash back RM14.9 need 3.4month to break even GST RM50. (after deduct GST u earn Rm128.14)


So if follow the RM1700 expenses, You see that use both card is more worth in Long Term see how u spend it. You can try to calculate what your expenses monthly actually.
You may add more from your previous expenses about 20%, you may spend more after u have CC.

Thanks

I have enquired at the 'recommend credit card' thread and one of the recommendation is Citibank Cash Back Credit Card. Therefore, I have sent my application on this credit card. Like I have mentioned earlier, I was wondering if Citibank Business Platinum CC would be a better choice or not since the Citibank staff provide me an option.

My apologies  notworthy.gif  if I have landed in a wrong thread to enquire on the suitable Citibank CC as I thought this thread is open to all enquiry on Citibank CC. I shall get back to the correct thread then  blush.gif

Is ok Bro to ask about Citibank Credit Card here. But if u choosecredit card only u know better than us how u spend and where u spend it. Or else u want more cash back for online transaction why not try Maybank 2 Card? 5% on weekend using AMEX card, I assume that online transaction should including AMEX. Pump your Petrol on Weekend using AMEX get 5%. Maximum cash back cap rm50. 1 Month can break even if u use RM1000 monthly, yearly get Rm550 cash back. Think about it. Sorry bro but this is citibank thread. u may go to Maybank2card thread find more info
