Recently, Citibank Malaysia launched a new credit card to help you save even more whenever you do your weekly marketing. It is a new Giant-Citibank credit card which helps you save through rebates whenever you shop at Giant which is really good if you regularly do your marketing at a Giant hypermarket.
The Giant-Citibank card offers the following advantages:
-
2% rebates on purchases made in Giant Malaysia
-
Up to 1% rebate on purchases made outside Giant stores
-
Purchase-with-purchase items
-
Members-only priced items
During their promotional period, members stand to get 10% rebates if you apply before 15 July and swipe your Giant-Citibank card on your first purchase before 31 August! The rebates will be given in the form of RM5 vouchers which you can reuse easily at any Giant hypermarket. A table of the number of vouchers you stand to get has been provided below:
| No. | Spending Amount (RM) | Number of Voucher in RM5 denomination each |
| 1. | 50 – 99 | 1. |
| 2. | 100 – 149 | 2. |
| 3. | 150 – 199 | 3. |
| 4. | 200 – 249 | 4. |
| 5. | 250 – 299 | 5. |
| 6. | 300 – 349 | 6. |
| 7. | 350 – 399 | 7. |
| 8. | 400 – 449 | 8. |
| 9. | 450 – 499 | 9. |
| 10. | 500 and above | 10. |
It appears that they are rounding it off to the lowest RM5 voucher so instead of getting RM9.90 for your shopping bill of RM99, you will have to contend with a RM5 voucher. If you are a user of the card, do plan your shopping so you can maximise the vouchers as much as possible!
During their promotional period, the annual fee of RM90 is waived for a year and you are entitled to purchase an Olympus camera a 60% discount (delivery fee of RM50 applies) which provides additional savings if you have been looking for a camera.
The Giant-Citibank credit card works well only if you are a regular shopper at Giant. However, if you don’t have a Giant near where you live or work, it wouldn’t make much sense with the current fuel prices to drive out of your way to utilize these rebates!
