Citi Rewards Card Promotion: 16,000 Miles Bonus

Citibank is running a Citi Rewards Card promotion for applications made from 1 August 2025 till 28 February 2026.

Get 16,000 bonus miles

From 1 August 2025 till 28 February 2026, new credit cardholders of Citibank can receive 40,000 bonus points (equivalent to 16,000 miles) after spending at least S$800 by the end of the third calendar month from card approval date.

The first-year annual fee is automatically waived, and I urge cardholders to request for an annual fee waiver on every subsequent year.

What kinds of transactions qualify for the minimum spending requirements?

Retail spending for goods and services is the safest way to guarantee that you meet the minimum spending requirement, and receive the advertised sign-up bonuses. This includes dining, groceries, ride-hailing, food delivery, online or in-person shopping, flight and hotel spending.

⚠️ Transactions that may not qualify include: Phone bills, business/professional services (Google/Facebook ads), hospital/clinic bills.

❌ Transactions that will not qualify include: Utility bills, school fees, e-wallet top-ups and payments to financial institutions (e.g. banks, brokerages).

Please refer to each card’s terms and conditions for the full list of exclusions.

What if I have difficulty meeting the minimum spending requirements?

The simplest, tried-and-tested way to meet a credit card minimum spending requirement is by purchasing supermarket vouchers at NTUC Fairprice or Dairy Farm (Giant, Cold Storage) outlets.

These vouchers can be used for your grocery needs in future.

Definition of a new cardholder

A new cardholder of Citibank is someone who has not held a credit card (as a principal cardholder) issued by Citibank Singapore in the past 12 months.

If you had cancelled your last Citibank credit card more than 12 months ago, you will qualify as a new cardholder and can enjoy these sign-up bonuses.

For further clarity on the minimum qualifying spend period, here are some examples:

Application Date	Approval Date	Spend min. S$800 by
1 Aug 2025	4 Aug 2025	31 Oct 2025
15 Aug 2025	20 Aug 2025	31 Oct 2025

Citi miles/points are more valuable

Points earned on the Citi Rewards Card give you far greater flexibility, as compared to those earned through credit cards of other Singapore banks, mainly because:

You get access to 9 useful frequent flyer programs
More award availability, more award rates to compare.
Points expire in 5-year cycles
Points earned on the Citi Rewards Card expire every 5 years from the card approval date, giving you enough time to accumulate enough, before converting to frequent flyer miles for a meaningful award redemption.

Is the Citi Rewards Card good?

Yes, it is! I see the Citi Rewards Card as the #1 Miles card in Singapore, and I currently prioritize spending on this card in my miles and credit card strategy for 2025.

On top of the great miles flexibility mentioned above, cardholders can enjoy a superb earn rate of 4 miles per dollar on a wide range of spending categories like online spending, dining, groceries, in-person shopping, overseas spending, ride-hailing and even phone bills. Note that the 4 mpd earn rate is capped at S$1,000 worth of spending per statement month.
