All cards come with 1st year waiver (provided you swipe 3 times within 60 days or something) except Citi Prestige.

Yes, my partner got waiver for 2nd year. no hassle. depends on your luck really.

Stay up late on friday/Saturday night. I tried once. Got it. Used it within 5 minutes after midnight.

You should go to citibank webpage read first right?

The visa signature comes with unlimited lounge access for certain lounge.

Citibank is a bit funny in this aspect. Occasionally I will have my statement date 1 day later. I remember those occasions have something to do with public hols in the month either around the statement date or due date.

But it really doesn't affect you much. Even if you have a transaction posted on the 6th, it actually will only reflect on the next statement. There is no downside for you. Your due date will be extended another day, which is 20 days from 6th.

Occasionally, the due date may be more than 20 days after statement date. I have 22 this month, I think.

i doubt it. unlikely to get those offer if you call-in. maybe call in CS, do some other transaction, see if they ask you if you want cash loan, see what sort of rates they offer. better than calling in to actually ask for it directly.

the irony, when you don't need it, they call, when you need it, it's expensive.

Wait.... You can balance transfer to Citibank even if you don't have that amount of statement balance. And withdraw the overpayment from Citibank. This has mentioned in the balance transfer thread.

I myself have done it, albeit small amount rm2k, back in February this year. All I had to do was email them proof of my balance transfer, which was that receipt generated by Maybank.

i think previously some did mention CS will offer the customer to switch to choice card (the predecessor of simplicity), when they don't give waiver.

I suggest you call in again, maybe 2nd CS willing to give waiver. I personally did it before and it worked 2 years ago. Will try my luck again soon, when mine due in less than a month.

Global Lounge Access... the rest are just minor frills, i think

although i like the GSC gold class b1f1, if i ever get to have this card.

Seems like percentage wise, mine is not too bad.

If 1st time fail, try again. 2nd time is a charm.

I drop a message via live chat. Someone from annual fee department called.

Told me this year no waiver for Citibank clear.

I will call another time in the next few days. If they don't waive. Gonna redeem my points and say bye.

Funny story. I called twice prior to the annual fee being charged. Can only get 50% waiver or keep asking me to use my points, which is about 90% of the points needed. Means I pay the balance. So since unsuccessful, I decided to finish up my points.

Called to cancel. The guy there tried to persuade me to keep my clear card for the benefits. I said, not worth the annual fee. Then when failed, he offer 50% waive yet again. Then, he asked if I want to switch to simplicity.

Still said no, okay, he say will waive based on one time basis. Lol. Yes, I decided to keep eventually

Wow. They do ask for marriage cert. I jokingly told my fiance they won't ask for proof even if he put spouse.

it's your choice to increase or decrease credit limit. if you don't need/want it, you can ignore.

just make sure you send it to legit/correct email of citibank, which i believe you can get it from the website.

you can try. i did. i called 1st time, failed. 2nd time failed. 3rd time i called to cancel, they agree to waive. Not premier miles, but clear card. My partner called to waive premier miles, 1st time is a charm.

it also depends if you want to piss off the people behind you. i think as long as you swipe within the stated period, you will get it.

Anyone tried claiming the free airport ride, both principal and supp claim on the same day?

For citibank premier miles.

i just used it earlier this month. they will ask for boarding pass from you.

i think they will know once they see something like airasia boarding pass.

No value written. Will have the Citibank wording on the voucher

You were lucky, I started digging for the boarding pass. Yes, I got abit surprised the counter change side too but I don't travel often, not always klia

I remember because I always wanted to find out how much is it. Because I never paid for it but I always don't see the amount, so never found out.

Go to Citibank website, search for instant redemption, there will be some merchants that can do it.

I used it on coffee bean last round.
