So have anyone going to apply for the card and had already applied?
I don't come close to the income requirement.
no diff to me since i m not qualified for this card LOL
Conti using my PM card...
No free taxi and no free fast track.
HSBC Visa Infinite have those free IF you charge $5k to the card per quarter. However, you are earning 1 mile/$, instead of 1.4 (or more) miles/$. So at 5k a quarter, you lugi 2k miles a quarter.
On the other hand, if you can consistently charge $75k a year to HSBC VI, you are earning 1.5 miles/$, so earning more miles. Unless you are a long time Citibank customer or Citigold customer and earning the 15% bonus, which makes the effective earning rate as 1.61 miles/$.
So, difficult to say which is strictly better, between the two cards. It depends on the cardholder.
Will apply for this card if they agree to waive the annual fee. Will forgo the welcome points. It's better than my premier miles so don't mind switching. I more than 5 years citi customer too. So qualify for 10 percent bonus. But, if no waiver of fee, I am not interested.
That 2k I think is enough to offset free taxi to airport and fast track facility lor.
So paying $535 just for buying miles?
How to indicate interest but specify that you do not want to pay the fee?
Was so funny, I visited the branch at AMK Bus Interchange last night to enquire and they said that they don't have such a card. Called this morning to their hotline to check if I can apply at their branch, the CSO did not even know that they launched this new card. After I explained, then they offered to take my details for someone to contact me, which I declined.
Something interesting I learnt about Citibank.
Their credit card ops is very seperate from their banking ops. So, the people at the branches have little to no idea on the latest credit card launches and promos. The one you need to approach is the ones with credit card ops (I think at the main branch, and also the little counter at Vivocity, on the first floor near the MRT station).

The one I visited was the one which offered Instant Card Issuance Facilities and the small counter is primarily to solicit card and ready credit facilities. That's why I am surprised that they are not aware.
