Key features

The Citi Rewards card offers customers a 21.49% p.a. purchase rate and up to 55 interest-free days on purchases (T&Cs apply). The card comes with a credit limit between $2,000 to $100,000, and there’s an annual fee of $199. 

With Citi’s Rewards credit card, customers can earn 1 Citi reward Point for every $1 spent on eligible purchases (up to $10,000 per statement period) in Australia, or with overseas merchants and online stores (T&Cs apply). 

You have the option to have up to 4 additional cardholders (over the age of 16) at a cost of $90 per card, annually. So, if you want to add one extra cardholder, like your partner, your annual fee will come to $289. 

The cash advance rate on the Citi Rewards card sits at 22.24% p.a., which is an important number to remember if you’re considering Citi’s Premier Balance Transfer offer. 

Balance Transfer offer

Pay 0% p.a. for 12 months when you transfer your balance to a Citi Rewards card. After the first 12 months, the interest charged on your balance transfer will revert to the cash advance rate of 22.24% p.a. There is no fee for balance transfers, but it’s important to note that balance transfers aren’t eligible for the 55-day interest-free period.

Citi Reward Points offer

You can earn a total of 100,000 bonus Citi Rewards Points when you spend $5,000 on eligible purchases within the first 90 days of approval (T&Cs apply, offer valid until 30 April 2024). 

Also included in this offer, your first year’s annual fee is cut to $99, but reverts to $199 in subsequent years. Receive an introductory purchase rate of 0% p.a. for 6 months. Reverts to variable retail purchase rate. There’s a balance transfer available of 0% p.a. for 15 months with no balance transfer fee. Reverts to cash advance rate. 

Flybuys Points offer

Receive 100,000 bonus Flybuys points when you spend $5,000 on eligible purchases within 90 days of approval (T&Cs apply, offer ends 30 April 2024). 

With this offer, receive an introductory purchase rate of 0% p.a. for 6 months. Reverts to variable retail purchase rate.

Who is it good for

The Citi Rewards credit card is good for people looking for a credit card that rewards them with points for everyday spending on eligible purchases.

Any catches

Adding another cardholder incurs an additional $90 fee per cardholder, per year. 

It’s also worth noting that if you take advantage of one offer, you may miss out on some other potential perks, so choose your Citi Rewards card offer wisely.
