CITIBANK SHELL VISA

 A few days back, I saw in the papers a new citibank card — CITIBANK SHELL VISA.  Since, I’m a CITIBANK SHELL MASTERCARD holder, I emailed customer service to inquire about the new card, and here’s their reply…

We wish to inform you that upon renewal of your Citi Shell Mastercard,
it will already be replaced with the new Citi Shell Visa card. Please
note that benefits and features of the new card will be the same as your
existing card except for the rebates. Please see below:

5% Rebate on Shell Fuel Purchases  (previously 3%)
0.5% Rebate on Non-Fuel Purchases  (previously 1%)
Emergency Roadside Assistance (same as SCM, via 632 7000, international
SOS)
5% Discount on Shell Helix Plus Packages
10% discount on Shell Helix ULTRA Packages

Also, kindly note that prior to renewal of your card, you will
automatically enjoy the 5% Shell Fuel Rebates, 1% for non-fuel until May
31, 2008.  Effective June 20, 2008 the Rebates for Non-fuel purchases
will align at 0.5%.

With skyrocketing fuel prices, this is a blessing from the sky (at least better than nothing).

CITIBANK (ATM CARD)

 

Often times we complain about high ATM transactions fees, especially if you transact with other bank’s ATM. Of course, it is always advisable to transact with your bank’s machine to avoid transaction fees (withdrawal fee, balance inquiry fee, etc.), but often times you find yourself in need of cash, and your bank’s ATM is no where near the area.

 

A typical withdrawal or balance inquiry may cost you from Php8 to Php12 per transaction. And since it’s not your bank’s machine, it would only allow you to withdraw a max amount of Php4000-Php5000 per transaction. What if you need to withdraw Php20,000? Then that would be 4-5 transactions multiplied by the amount of the transaction fee (wow, instant hold-up!)

 

If you’re tired of all these exorbitant bank transaction fees, did you know that there is a bank which offers an ATM card and charges NO transaction fees? Yes, you heard it right… NO transaction fees, even if you transact with other bank’s machine (Bancnet, Megalink, or ExpressNet)..Thanks to CITIBANK ATM Card.

 

Though, to open an account with Citibank may require higher amount, but if you look at it in the long run, this is much savings (if you regularly transact with other bank’s machine). Citibank is different from Citibank Savings (just like HSBC and HSBC Savings). Though, both are offering the same perks, Citibank Savings Bank allows you to open an account with less amount compared to Citibank which requires 100K to open a savings account.

 

Hmmmm… I have not opened an account with Citibank yet, but this is an offer hard to resist. What do you think?
